The clean cost week is an initiative by charity Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful and sponsored by Coca Cola to encourage volunteers to help protect our coastline by taking part in any of the hundreds of events taking place between 1-10 June.

The initiative encourages the nation to protect and enjoy our coastline, while celebrating the thousands of volunteers who tirelessly work to keep our beaches and inland waterways clean year around. There will be hundreds of events taking place from 1-10 June including beachside yoga, nature walks, seaweed workshops and family activities.

Join in the fun and help our environment!
