The Great British Beach Clean Up: we’re cleaning up the coast!
By Haven
This September, in partnership with our charity partner, Cancer Research UK, we’ll be taking part in the Great British Beach Clean across our parks - and you can get involved too!
The Marine Conservation Society is cleaning up the beaches around the UK, running their flagship Great British Beach Clean. The litter data they pull from these cleans makes a huge impact on the planet we live on, and the way we can improve it, like the plastic bag charge, banning microplastics in personal care products and better wet wipe labelling.
Key takeaways
- Haven is joining the Marine Conservation Society's Great British Beach Clean this September across its parks.
- Guests can take part by making a small donation to Cancer Research UK to support their vital work.
- Litter data from beach cleans has already driven real change, including the plastic bag charge and microplastics bans.
We’ll be scouring the beaches for everything plastic to collect and dispose of, and we’d love for you to join us! All you need to do is make a small donation to Cancer Research, to help fund their incredible work.
Let’s all chip in, help Cancer Research, and clean up our beaches too. What a perfect way to help these causes.
Beach clean-up plans will vary by park, so check the Marine Conservation Website for scheduled events or speak to your Haven team for more information.
