Join Bridge to Unity and Final Straw Foundation for a clean-up around Emsworth shore, Mill Pond and the surrounding area on Monday the 8th May, from 10:00 until 12:00. The meeting point for this organised event is the Emsworth Sailing Club car park on Bath Road, Emsworth PO10 7ES (TBC – alternatively the shore opposite 36 on the Quay on South Street, Emsworth).
Gloves, litter pickers, bags, and buckets will be provided, but we welcome you to bring your own if you have any.
While we anticipate that this beach clean should be able to go ahead, it will be subject to the weather – while rain is not too much of a problem, if the wind is too high we will not proceed. If the clean-up is going to be cancelled for any reason, we will notify you through Eventbrite (you will be emailed) and on our social media.
BEACH CLEAN RULES
– There will be a safety briefing at the start of the event, please listen carefully and adhere to the guidelines.
– Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes.
– Only go where instructed to go on the day.
– Dress for the weather – check the forecast in advance. If it’s hot, wear sun cream, if it’s raining bring a waterproof rain jacket and so on – layers are great.
– Please bring your own drink in a reusable container.
– Do not pick up anything sharp (broken glass, needles etc). Inform a host and we will remove it. We will have a sharps bin with us.
– Under 18’s must be accompanied by a responsible adult
– Participation is at the individual’s own risk, but please report any incidents to the hosts.
– Do not put your hands anywhere near your face, especially your eyes or mouth during the clean. You never know what you may have touched and your gloves will probably be dirty.

– Return all equipment and litter to the collection/drop-off spot.
– Well-behaved dogs on leads are more than welcome
