The Beach Buddies truck will play an essential role in cleaning up the Manx coastline.

Beach cleaning charity Beach Buddies has got a new truck after securing funding from a number of individuals and organisations.

It will replace the charity's current vehicle, essential in recovering the vast amounts of rubbish collected from the Manx coastline.

The new truck was brought to the island free of charge by the Steam Packet Company.

Founded in 2006, Beach Buddies is dedicated to putting the Isle of Man on the map for having the cleanest beaches in Europe.
