ABCS Lead Volunteers Guide

Thank you for stepping forward to organise a Autumn Beach Clean Series event. With your help we aim to deliver over 150 beach cleans, involving 3500 volunteers, spanning all coastal counties and removing a minimum of 15 tonnes of debris from our beautiful beaches.

Please register your event at [email protected] and then follow our step by step guide (bottom of this page), which will enable you to plan, promote and deliver your own community beach clean safely and enjoyably.

The Autumn Beach Clean Series will unite the UK’s amazing coastal communities in confronting the marine litter crisis.

Please remember to contact us at [email protected] to register your event first!

NB: if your clean is taking place on a Cornish Beach, please do not send a Beach Manager Notification Letter, email Jack at [email protected] and he will do this for you.
