Beach Buddies Launches Official WhatsApp Channel to Keep Community Informed

Beach Buddies has today announced the launch of its new official WhatsApp Channel, created to be the primary source for event updates. 

The channel will act as a central hub for timely announcements, upcoming event details and important updates ensuring the Beach Buddies community stays informed in one clear and reliable place. By using the WhatsApp Channel followers will receive updates instantly without the risk of missing important information.

As part of this change, Beach Buddies will be moving away from posting postponements or cancellations on Facebook. Due to the way posts are displayed important updates do not always reach everyone in time. WhatsApp provides a faster and more reliable way to communicate urgent changes, helping ensure everyone gets the information when it matters most.

The Beach Buddies events page on the official website will also continue to be kept fully up to date, providing an additional reference point for confirmed event details.

The Beach Buddies WhatsApp Channel is now live and open to all members of the community. Followers are encouraged to join to stay up to date with everything happening across Beach Buddies.

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.
