Our next litter pick is on Saturday 5th October. Please meet at 10am near the boats at the High Street beach entrance or come and find us on the beach later. Litter pickers, bags and bag hoops will be provided. Please bring gloves, wear sturdy footwear and dress for the weather. Under 18's are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent/guardian Fantastic turn out on yet another sunny Saturday morning! Thanks to all our volunteers who collected 20 bags of litter from the beach today and another of our volunteers who collected 4 bags around the village over the last month. The beach was fairly clean at first glance but we spent a lot of time picking up bottle tops and cotton bud sticks. Cotton bud sticks don't belong on the beach - they end up here because people flush them down the toilet instead of putting them in the bin. Sewage processing systems don't remove these items from waste water so they get pumped out to sea and washed up on the beach..

These groups are near to you in case you want to contact them for advice, to offer them support or, for example, to share equipment with them.
Here at CleanupUK, we want to help you to take LitterAction! Wherever you live in the UK, forming your own community litter-picking group will help to keep your community safer, more friendly and free of litter. It’s lots of fun too. Why not muck in and join us?
