Beach Clean
Volunteering.
Community Action Days see volunteers give their time to an activity making a positive difference in the community. One annual CAD initiative supports International Coastal Cleanup Day: we call it the CMP Beach Clean.
IMPROVING the ENVIRONMENT.
Plastic debris is a big issue because it does not decompose; it simply disintegrates. Over time, minute plastic particles get into our own food and water systems, becoming a health hazard.
That is why beach cleaning can, and does, make a positive environmental difference.
BEACH CLEAN

130 volunteers from 14 different companies cleared a remarkable 36 10kg sacks of wildlife damaging litter. Once again teaming up with the Marine Conservation Society, CMP volunteers collected and recorded small plastic items for inclusion on the national data base.
BEACH CLEAN

Beach Clean 2026 took place in July at Hayling Island.
120 volunteers on a scorching summer's day cleared over 85kg of rubbish from south-coast beaches. 15 Member companies were represented followed by traditional fish'n'chips on the now much cleaner beach!
