COUNTDOWN TO NEW YEAR DIP

BEACH Buddies is again teaming up with our very good friends at the charity Breast Cancer Now on New Year’s Day for the Douglas Dip, opposite the Queen’s Hotel.

We need lots of volunteers for just an hour or so to help with the organisation – we had a new record number of dippers last year and we’re hoping for another record this time. Any help at all would be appreciated. The more the merrier. We can all enjoy a celebratory hot drink afterwards

If you can help please send an email to beachbuddiesisleofman@gmail.com

Collection Bins

Beach Buddies provides, manages and maintains a network of 50+ collection bins around the island to encourage and enable members of the public to collect and safely dispose of beach rubbish. Our team visits each of the bins each week or fortnight depending on location and season to empty the contents and ensure the bin is in good order. We recycle what we can and depose of the remainder at the Energy From Waste facility. Last year we deposited over 20 tonnes of rubbish in this way. This is at the core of operation as well as being the most intensive of our activities.
