Cramond Beach in Edinburgh has been selected as one of the first locations in the UK to hold a Marks & Spencer (M&S) and Marine Conseration Society (MCS) Big Beach Clean-up.
Organisers are encouraging people from Edinburgh and beyond to sign up at www.mcsuk.org/foreverfish to become beach cleaners for the day and help protect our seas.
The first ever M&S Big Beach Clean-up, organised by MCS, will take place at Cramond Beach on Friday 11th May with the aim of stopping common items such as fishing nets, ropes and bottle tops polluting our beaches and seas.
M&S customers that register in advance will receive a money-off at M&S voucher* and some free M&S snacks on the day of the clean. Beach cleaners at Cramond will also be treated to a free BBQ and kids' games organised by the National Schools Partnership.
Youngsters can also get involved with free beach activity packs, rock pool rambling and being on the look out for unusual items. Previous MCS beach cleans have found unusual items such as bicycles, rubber ducks and superhero outfits.
*£5 of a £25 spend on food and drink at any M&S store (excluding BP stores and valid for one month).
