Beach Cleans

Beach Cleans in Dorset

Beach cleans are a fantastic way to make a difference, meet new people and enjoy the coast at the same time.

 

The Great Dorset Beach Clean brings together beach care volunteer groups every year for a co-ordinated clean up along the coast. It’s been running for over 30 years and Litter Free Coast and Sea are proud to run the event together with local volunteers, landowners and organisations.

 

If you plan to join a beach clean, we recommend contacting the organisers in advance to help them manage numbers, and to bring your own strong gloves to wear.

Beach Care Groups

We’ve been working with volunteer groups to run beach clean events since Litter Free Coast and Sea started in 2012, supporting their collective efforts and sharing achievements of everyone that has volunteered their time. Below are a selection of beach care groups that we collaborate with.

For information on forthcoming events near you, please keep an eye on our social media channels and our beach care group partners.
