Donations help us to continue to keep our beach cleaning kit up together, enable us to continue our work with schools and communities and keep the charity going - thank you so much!

Our community beach cleans are open to individuals and small groups. If you're a business or corporate group looking to join, for your volunteering hours or team-building, we’ll need to arrange a bespoke private clean for you. These private cleans support our charity through a donation, ensuring we can continue our important work. Get in touch via [email protected] to book your tailored experience.
