JOINING FORCES WITH THE PEOPLE OF JURBY

BEACH Buddies will join forces with the people of Jurby this weekend with the first of our events this year cleaning up the Jurby area and the nearby beaches. This is always a great event, meeting up with our good friends from the Jurby Community Centre, led by the ever-enthusiastic Angela and Lee Quaggin who always lay on fantastic cakes, treats and drinks afterwards in the Community Hall.

We meet outside the Community Hall from 10.30am on Sunday, April 7th, finishing no later than 12 noon.
•  We highly recommend going for lunch or an afternoon meal afterwards at the Guard House, just a few yards away alongside the Motor Museum. Great food, a really friendly staff (who welcome dogs!) and definitely one the best eating places in terms of quality of food and value for money.
•  Beach Buddies is sponsored by FIM Capital and relies entirely on donations to survive. Please make a donation if you can.

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.
