A SHOPPING centre is looking for volunteers to help clear Brighton beach this bank holiday.
Churchill Square is asking people to join the beach clean up from 11am on Sunday, May 1, to help pick up litter and other discarded items.
It will begin from the i360 and stretch to Ohso Social, clearing debris and plastics that could impact the area and wildlife.
The shopping centre began clean up events in 2019 and have since collected 257.45kg of rubbish, the weight of a giant squid or a bull shark.
Empty bottles, crisp packets, cigarette butts, polystyrene fish and chip containers and plastic straws are among the most common items collected.
Litter pickers, high-vis jackets and gloves will be provided and all volunteers will be given a briefing before they spend two hours on the beach.
Volunteers will also be offered perks, including discounts at some of Churchill Square’s food outlets including Boost Juice, Millies Cookies, Costa Coffee, Bubble CiTea and Auntie Anne’s as a thank you.
Beach cleans take place on the first Sunday of each month May to September.
Anyone who wants to get involved will need to register and should head to the What’s On page at www.churchillsquare.com.
