September has arrived but are we really ready to say goodbye
to summer just yet? With the gorgeous sunshine still blazing down on us, I
think it’s safe to say that really…summer isn’t officially over. What’s the
first thing you associate with summer sunshine? Beaches.
Now being the proud Cornish girl that I am, I love the
beaches that we have here in Cornwall. However, there are also many other
beautiful beaches sprawled across our British coast in need of some TLC.
The summer months are the best times to visit the beaches,
however, unfortunately it can lead to a large amount of litter and rubbish
being scattered across the sand and sadly going into our waters. Luckily
starting this September, the multi award winning holiday parks Parkdean are on
a mission to clean up our British beaches with the help of their friends at the
Marine Conservation Society and hopefully…YOU!
From the 19th
to the 22nd of September, Parkdean are hosting 15 beach cleans in
total and supporting the events of a further 6, so wherever you are there’s a
beach ready for your help! No matter whether you are in Wales, Scotland or
England, there’s a place for your volunteering skills to be put to good use.
Here are the beach cleans and the dates and times you need to know.
Signing up is incredibly simple. Just click here, fill out the necessary information and away you go!
No need to worry about equipment as all will be provided by
Parkdean! Just wear sensible clothing, slap on some sun cream and grab your hat
ready for some beach fun. (There might even be some refreshments for you to
tuck into as well!)
Our aim is to make Britain’s beaches cleaner, not only for
just marine wildlife but also your children and families. Bring everyone and
anyone you know to these big events, we’re in need of your help! Friends,
family, work colleagues and neighbours can all join you on this great day out
on the beach! Let’s make our beaches
clean again with the Great British Beach Clean! #GBBC
