Beach Buddies has reached the shores of Hong Kong.
The charity has created its first international branch - and will hold its first event at Long Mei Beach in Tai Po this weekend.
Organisers say the event is the culmination of years of work behind the scenes to share the success story of the Manx charity and the transformation of the Isle of Man’s beaches.
The Hong Kong branch has been set up by Manxman Nick Thompson who has lived and worked there for the last 30 years.
It’s now hoped other companies with Manx connections will join forces with the new Beach Buddies initiative.
