We would like to say a huge thank you to Stewart and his amazing team of volunteers from the Hat and Feathers Wetherspoon in Seaham, and everyone else who joined in last weeks beach clean with Louise at Red Acre beach.

We collected 10 bags of rubbish, including around 100 bottles and cans, 5 disposable bbq’s, 2 towels, rusty trolley and a load of ghost fishing gear.

All of which would’ve ended up in sea causing a huge amount of damage to wildlife, habitats and of course humans too.

It would be so nice if folk would take their rubbish home or put it in a bin.
