Yesterday our group of 5 - 12 year old home educated children headed down to Gyllyngvase Beach for a community beach clean. Little wellies and hands got stuck in, sorting through everything from crisp packets to bits of fishing line. It’s pretty sobering to see it all laid out together, a reminder of just how much ends up on our beautiful Cornish coastline and why cleans like this matter so much.
Huge thanks to everyone who showed up and to Surfers Against Sewage for the inspiration to keep at it. Our little changemakers should be proud of themselves! 💙

Along the way they'll be:

🔍 Exploring and discovering what lives on and washes up onto our shores
🤝 Connecting and working together and feeling part of the coastline and our community
🧘Mindfulness and slowing down to notice the sounds, textures and rhythm of the sea
💚Protecting and taking real action to look after the beach and the wildlife that calls it home.

It's hands-on learning about the world around us and a chance to give something back to the coastline we love.

Thanks to our friends at Chyan Farm for hosting our group so that we could learn how to make apple juice the old school way.

If you would like to celebrate apple season with Chyan they are running their annual apple fayre event on Sunday 11th October and you can also learn how to press apples. Hope to see you there!
