PEOPLE in the Trebarwith area — both young and old — are being encouraged to get involved with the Love Trebarwith Beach Clean, taking place this January.

The clean will take place on Wednesday, January 3 from 11.30am until 1pm, with beach cleaners meeting at the Strand Café, Trebarwith Strand.

As this is the first beach clean of the New Year before all the children go back to school, organiser Bek Stratfield is encouraging people to bring the kids along and get them involved in making their beach a clean, safe and enjoyable environment for both people and marine wildlife.

After the beach clean, people will meet back at the Strand Café for coffee.
