BeachCare Programme 

What is BeachCare

BeachCare is the first stage of The Morecambe Bay 
Partnership Community Outreach Programme designed to make a positive difference to people around Morecambe Bay.

 How BeachCare works

BeachCare will help organise, support and encourage groups and individuals in community based activities on the beaches of Morecambe Bay. Those taking part will benefit in many different ways including:

§         A greater sense of community pride and the creation of a can-do spirit.

§         Team building and decision making skills

§         Greater environmental knowledge

§         An opportunity to meet and work with new people

§         Exercise

§         Raising the profile of their group through local publicity

 Why BeachCare?

Using the environment as a tool for community development is well established. BeachCare will show that direct action results in benefit to the communities of Morecambe Bay in the following ways:

·        Encouraging communities to work together on a local project.

·        Building and improving opportunities, training and self-esteem of disenfranchised groups through beach stewardship.

·        By improving directly the appearance of the coastline and the quality of the environment through reduced litter.

·        Cleaner beaches and improved access will lead to increased tourism and associated economic benefits.

Who can get involved?

Anyone interested in making a positive difference to their local community can take part. From schools groups through to allowing BeachCare to compliment existing employee volunteering schemes. To become involved in BeachCare is to become involved in your local community.
