Our annual June Big Beach Clean event encompasses World Ocean Day on 8th June. In 2021 we had over 70 brilliant community and family groups covering the coastline between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Edinburgh over one weekend. In 2022 we built on this success and extended the clean up the coast to Aberdeen! This year we will also be organising a clean on the west coast covering Gretna to Glasgow so by 2025 we can hopefully have the whole coastline being cleaned over one weekend.

To get involved we ask people to pick a spot on the coast they would like to tackle, then pop a pin in our map to show where you’ll be: 2023 Beach Clean Map.

To add your marker click on the pin icon underneath the search bar, and then click on the map where you will be. In the box that pops up you can add the location name and any details such as time and meeting place if other volunteers are welcome to join you.

We have set up Facebook Groups for the different coastal areas, join them to be kept up to date with the latest news and to connect with others in your area:

• Gretna to Glasgow
• Inverness to Queensferry
• Edinburgh to Berwick – upon – Tweed

Details on the other beach clean events we hold around Scotland can be found on the Beach Blitz Events page.
