Hey beachlovers - here's a survey from Portsmouth City Council about bbq use around the seafront areas. Many of you will have gathered bbq debris and associated rubbish with us, so I'm sure you have a view!

Our view is that we LOVE seeing people gather and enjoying the beach and parks! What we really don't like is disposable bbqs, overflowing bins and of course, the rubbish.

Please complete by 11th October:

One of our volunteers has asked if we can share a link to this incredible Mens Wellness group called Tribe Southsea. They meet every Sunday at the Coffee Cup at 8am - if you can share it on, that would be amazing
