We were delighted at @ballynamona.bsky.social to have the support of the @hsscu.bsky.social over the last year resulting in over 1100 kids getting out to the coast and learning about the marine environment and what they could do to protect it. #Community @cleancoasts.bsky.social

It's important to invest in ourselves and our volunteers. Hope it stays in the bag and never needs to come out though! Delighted to announce that a defibrillator will accompany us on our beach cleans. looking after the people who join us on #CSR days, school and volunteer events.

We turn 10 years old in just a few short weeks. In 2025, we will be adding this street vac to our fleet and will be targeting cigarette butts and doing a whole education piece on it. We can’t wait. Here it is almost finished in “make-up”. More on this really soon.

Ordered mine yesterday. Hand delivered today! Some beautiful photos and the funds go to a great cause!

Are you curious how the climate policies of political party manifestos stack up ahead of 🇮🇪 #ge24 next week? ❌ The three major parties - Fianna Fáil, Sinn Fein and Fine Gael all failed our assessment ✅ the Labour Party came out on top www.friendsoftheearth.ie/news/labour-...

Blustery out!! A bit of wind (and to be fair, sleet 🤣) didn’t put a stop to this mornings #BeachClean with @ballynamona.bsky.social at beautiful Ardnahinch Beach. Keep an eye on their social media if you fancy joining the next one!

This is for us. Can you help? Reposts appreciated. Small following as newbies on here.

We have a thing this weekend where there’ll be lots of people. Would anyone have something we could repurpose into a #voting station? Small high table? We can return to owner again if needed. It’s an interactive piece to get public to vote on issues to advance the #climate agenda #PollingStation
