Chelsea Beach Patrol

Chelsea Beach Patrol

Chelsea Beach Patrol is part of the wider network of Beach Patrol volunteers. once a month clean!

On the last Sunday of every month, starting on 26th October 2014, Chelsea Beach Patrol will meet somewhere along the beach in the 3196 postcode. An hour will then be spent picking up any rubbish found on the beach. Even if you can only give half an hour, it will still make a difference. We will hopefully have some gloves but if you have some please bring them along. Bags will be provided and we will weigh how much rubbish we have collected.
