What is BeachCare?   BeachCare aims to improve the appearance, access and amenity of our coast and beaches.  Much of our work involves encouraging people to take part in litter picks.  We are also involved in raising awareness of marine litter issues, lobbying to improve the condition of the coast and campaigns to reduce the amount of litter at source.

Over 27 tonnes removed by 3400 volunteers...

Since 2003, over 3400 volunteers have worked with us removing more than 27 tonnes of litter from our beaches.  Much of this is plastics.  This makes a significant improvement to the appearance of our beaches.

What do I need to take part?

Wear comfortable clothing, appropriate to the time of year and the weather.  This could be t-shirts, sunscreen and a hat or wellies and waterproofs.  We provide gloves, litter pickers and bags. 

Under 16?

If you are under 16 you are very welcome to take part but please come with an adult.
