A special New Year’s Day Dip in Douglas

The New Year’s Day Dip in Douglas once again turned out to be a fantastic success for the charities Breast Cancer Now and Beach Buddies – not least for the enthusiastic involvement of the new Lieutenant Governor Sir John Lorimer and Lady Philippa Lorimer. It looks like more than 300 took part for yet another record and we hope to raise a large sum for the two charities.

Paul Moulton of Isle of Man TV was there to speak to the Governor and Lady Philippa and film the brilliant scenes on Douglas beach. The video can be seen on the link here:-

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.
