The CLP Nature Group are organising a number of beach cleans across Limekilns and Charlestown on Sunday 14th July as part of our annual Community Summer Beach Clean programme.

As well as removing litter from our beaches, the aim of this event is to raise awareness and take climate action.

Each beach clean will be lead and supervised by local trained volunteers who can provide details on safety prior to commencing the clean.

We have some equipment and will provide rubbish bags. Please bring our own gloves and check the weather forecast in case you need to wear a waterproof!

Also worth knowing…

What to bring: We’d recommend you pack a rucksack with a few essentials like sunscreen, waterproofs, hand sanitiser, and perhaps some snacks and a drink (in a reusable bottle, of course).

What to wear: If you're picking up litter with your hands it's worth wearing a strong pair of gloves - like gardening gloves - just to make sure you're protected. Sturdy shoes are a must for protection too.

Under 16s: To comply with our insurance, volunteers under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult who will be asked to sign a parental / guardian consent form on the day by the beach clean organiser. 

11 spaces remaining - join us on the beach whilst there’s still spaces!
