Filey Volunteers to Clean Plastic From Beach

A team of volunteers will be helping to collect plastic from Filey Beach today.

Bryden Simpson from Active Filey says it's surprising how much they manage to collect at their regular beach clean events.

Active Filey has been created to promote health related activities and sports opportunities such as cycling / running /jogging/ walking and watersports like sea swimming.

Their ethos is that of getting folks active and creating local opportunities for participation totally inclusive of age and ability on our fabulous coast and countryside.

As part of their activities the team from Active Filey undertake a  monthly beach clean.

Bryden Simpson from the group says they will have a particular focus on plastic this month.

Today's beach clean gets underway at 1pm meeting at the Filey country park cafe.

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
