Great North West Beach Clean
Between 01 February 2008 and 01 February 2008, in Truro
On Friday 29th February 2008 Agent4Change Rebecca Salari and volunteers from Manchester Metropolitan University took part in the Great North West Beach Clean for student volunteering week.
The beach clean, which took place at one of the north’s seven wonders, Morecambe Bay turned out to be a really successful day with over 30 rubbish bags being collected by MMU students alone!
The beach clean lasted over an hour as students from all over the north separated into groups of three and took turns to carry bags, pick up litter, and survey collections. Once the clean had been completed volunteers were driven to a local college where they enjoyed jacket potatoes and muffins after all their hard work!
Susannah Bleakley from the Morecambe Bay Partnership welcomes everyone willing to help with preserving the bay: “We are always thrilled to have volunteers who want get involved with our regular beach cleans", she says. "Since June 2003, 2600 people have taken part in 167 events, mainly, but not exclusively, beach cleans. We have removed over 19.6 tonnes of waste from beaches and more than 4000 items have been recycled”.
