Late last month, our Education Coordinator Carol was kindly invited to Arbory Primary School to attend their student public speaking event.
Carol was incredibly impressed by the powerful speech delivered by young Eleanor who spoke passionately about plastic pollution and the importance of beach cleaning. Eleanor also generously highlighted the work Beach Buddies is doing across the Island, something that made us all extremely proud.
Educating children, adults and businesses about the consequences of pollution and the importance of sustainability is at the very heart of Beach Buddies. We work closely with schools to deliver engaging presentations, interactive workshops and hands-on beach clean events. Seeing the positive impact of our work reflected in Eleanor’s speech was a truly special moment for us.
You can watch the full video of Eleanor’s speech below, recorded whilst she was rehearsing at home.
Supporting Schools with Litter Picking Kits
At the end of each school programme our aim is to leave the school with its very own litter picking kit enabling pupils to continue their environmental efforts long after our visit.
Each kit includes:
- A wheelie bin
- Litter pickers
- Rubbish bags
- Protective gloves
We are currently seeking sponsors for our School Litter Picking Kits, which cost £250.
Sponsorship includes:
- Your logo displayed on the bin(s) you sponsor
- The opportunity to choose which school you would like to support
- A publicity opportunity in partnership with your chosen local school
- Your name/logo featured on the Beach Buddies website
If you would like to support the next generation of environmental champions, we would love to hear from you.
