Beach Buddies UK mission

An Island charity is taking its mission to the UK this weekend to spread its message.

Ten volunteers from Beach Buddies will be looking to set up beach cleaning groups at Ravenglass and Braystones in Cumbria.

The organisation will meet with local residents with the longer-term goal of kickstarting new initiatives to tackle litter along long stretches of coastline.

Beach Buddies founder, Bill Dale, adds spreading the word sends out a 'great message about the Isle of Man', and hopes it sends the message the problem of marine letter can be addressed if communities work together.
