Organisers wanted to broaden the appeal of beach cleans by adding a new twist to attract both new and younger volunteers.
Silent disco beach cleans at the National Trust’s Woolacombe beach are encouraging people to get grooving whilst helping clean up the coastline.
“It’s important to us to help the local wildlife in any way that we can and work to prevent more plastic from getting into the ocean.” “Now, with the addition of North Devon Silent Disco, a mix of people from the local community and holidaymakers of all ages, including families and young people, are coming together in a communal effort to keep the beach clean and healthy.“Nearly half who come along haven’t done a beach clean before and it’s fantastic to see a wider range of people volunteering their time to get stuck in.
Unsurprisingly, plastic is the most common material washed ashore at Woolacombe, with a staggering 90% of beach rubbish collected in 2019 being plastic or polystyrene.
