Beach cleans across the South West

We look after miles of coastline and beaches across the South West, and rely on volunteers to help us clear the tons of litter that appears on the coast. Take a look and see if there's a beach clean near you for this weekend and beyond.

Beach cleans are big part of our work to maintain the coast. Read about some of the work that goes into looking after and maintaining the beaches we love thanks to the hard working volunteers.

The plan for one of Britain’s most adorable, yet rare creatures is that it will be given a whole new start in a healthy environment, where they can breed and flourish.
