Unfortunately we cannot always visit every beach that we are asked to go to, however do feel free to get in touch with your local Rep to see if they are planning any events in the near future. Alternatively, you can organise your own clean by following our step-by-step guide, or you can do a Mini Beach Clean.

We can’t always attend every event that we are invited to, however if the team from SAS HQ cannot attend then we’ll endeavour to send one of our Reps along.

SAS is a Registered Charity in England & Wales No: 1145877. You can find out more on the Charity Commission website.

Due to the change in licensing laws the SAS Ball is no longer economically viable. This is reviewed regularly and there may be exceptional years when we choose to organise the Ball, such as significant anniversaries. As an environmental charity with an increasingly broad remit, it is also important that we focus on our core mission rather than allocate staff time to organise this event.

As a small environmental charity with limited resources we cannot offer any financial support or assistance to individuals, events or other organisations.

If you have a product through which you’d like to support us, please contact Head of Fundraising, Pete Lewis on [email protected], to discuss the use of the logo and any other necessary background information. All relationships of this type require an official SAS agreement setting out the parameters of the support.

The SAS logo cannot be used without prior permission. Permission will be granted once the agreed benefits, including any financial contribution, for SAS are established and the environmental standards of the product are ascertained.

If you would like to support SAS as the official charity of your event or business please contact Head of Fundraising Pete Lewis on [email protected]
