2024 ROTARY & AYRSHIRE COASTAL PATH BEACH CLEAN
The big annual beach clean takes place over up to twenty beaches on the Ayrshire Coast. Most of these are managed and led by Ayr Rotary Club/Ayrshire Coastal Path but other beaches are organised by the Rotary Clubs of Prestwick and Alloway, and a diverse range of other community groups, farmers and landowners who all give their time generously. The event is supported by South and North Ayrshire Councils.
Volunteers will be provided with bags but please bring your own litter-picker if possible since these will likely be in short supply. Please also wear stout shoes/boots and gloves.
THIS YEAR’S BEACH CLEAN TAKES PLACE ON SATURDAY MORNING 13 APRIL 2024
Please go direct to Assembly Point on day – or contact the named Team Leader for advice.
Basic safety instructions will be given on the day but you will be responsible for your own personal safety.
