A GREAT WAY TO SHOW YOU CARE . . .

BEACH Buddies has been joined this last few weeks by a new group of volunteers who asked to get involved as they wanted to help the local community.
They are church group called Members Church of God International (MCGI) and they have been very keen volunteers, working as a team and thoroughly enjoying themselves at the same time.
It has been a real pleasure to meet this group and we look forward to seeing them again at our Sunday morning sessions.
•. Beach Buddies has been in existence for almost 20 years and during that time we have warmly welcomed many different groups of like-minded people of all ages – from children to grandparents – who want to do something to help the local community and protect our beautiful and unique island environment. We run events not just on Sundays but at other times of the week too, and also in the evenings during the summer months. We don’t just clean beaches either; we are very keen to host clean-ups in parks, plantations, glens, forests, hills, footpaths and your local village. If you are part of a community group of any type and would like to get involved please contact us via:- info@beachbuddies.org.im

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.
