SAS is currently working with schools, universities, youth groups and other community partners to deliver Motivocean Beach Cleans right across the UK. SAS is particularly encouraging youth volunteering and promoting the link between coastal environmental protection and the sports that rely on a clean and protected coastal environment. SAS is holding events right around the country between March 11th and 30th June 2011, offering volunteers the chance to get involved with beach clean activities and learn to surf as a reward*. The tour will be calling at many beaches around the country as shown below. Unless otherwise indicated, all events will start at 11am and finish by 2pm, with surf lessons and other rewards taking place afterwards or on another specified date.

We are now recruiting young volunteers for the Motivocean project – further information can be found by contacting Adam Beare on [email protected] or 01872 555 945, checking www.sas.org.uk or by visiting www.vinspired.com
