Beach Clean Volunteers

We are always looking for clean-up volunteers. Please come along and help us to clean our local shoreline, countryside or urban areas. We would need you to come along to a designated area to help collect litter. We would welcome your help sorting the rubbish at the end into recyclables etc, and bagging it up and weighing it, ready for collection by the council. 

We also need volunteers who would be willing to come and survey the beach, recording the amount and type of rubbish that is over a specific area to be added to data sets on littering, so if you are more interested in helping with that rather than the physical side of picking rubbish up that would be helpful too. 

All our beach clean dates are listed on our website so you can see the dates in advance. We will supply all equipment you will need. 

The vast majority of our public beach cleans happen at the weekends, but occasionally we run them during the week too. This can be discussed and you are welcome to join as many as you like. 

Really looking forward to working with you!

N.B. If/when you do attend a beach clean, please can you make yourself know to a member of staff that you came from Community First. Community First will also request an update via email some weeks after you register, so please do remember to get back to them.

What skills do I need?

You will need to be willing to muck in and help out and enjoy being around people. You will be taught everything you will need to know and if you are interested we will teach you all about plastic pollution and how it affects our wildlife and shores.

You should be able to talk to strangers but you do not have to be overly confident or outgoing. We will guide you and talk you through everything.
