Meet the crew

Our volunteers are a dedicated bunch. They run preventative campaigns, helping their communities learn how to stop waste becoming litter in the first place. Some work in a group, others work individually on a specific project, fitting in their volunteering around their other work, study or home commitments.

Whatever your situation, there are aspects of volunteering you can take part in to support the Litter Free Coast and Sea cause, and we’re very grateful for all that our volunteers do. Click on the buttons below to meet some of our crew and find out about your nearest group.

Oh, and they also run beach cleans, so if you can’t join a group or volunteer regularly you can still help our beaches by coming along and helping out with a spruce-up.

Other ways to get involved

Join a Beach Clean

If you would like to take part in a beach clean, take a look at our beach clean calendar to see when and where the next public beach clean events are. You can find all of the information here including location, time and duration of the beach clean and what you need to bring along, as well as the event organisers and who to contact.

Organise a Beach Clean

If you are an individual, group or community that would like to do a beach clean on a beach which is not covered already, or does not have enough clean-up events, we can help you to set up a beach clean or community group by providing equipment, support and training. For all enquiries please contact us.

Local Action

You can make a big difference by taking action in your local area. You might have a neglected coastal space which could be renovated, a litter-filled spot that could be cleaned-up or an event that you would like to run to raise awareness about marine issues. If you have a particular project you’re interested in, we can help with advice and possible funding to help put your ideas into action.

Our volunteers say

“Having lived by the coast most of my life I wanted to make a positive contribution to this beautiful area while also developing skills. Matilda and the team have been very supportive and as a core volunteer I’ve undertaken a variety of tasks including managing social media and conducting research.”
