29 01 2023 A cold Sunday morning on Lancing beach for our monthly litter pick there – but it did not deter 26 real Stars (including 7 children) who joined us to collect 23kg of litter of which 4kg was recycled. We welcomed another Duke of Edinburgh student to help us as part of their volunteering for the award (please get in touch to chat about that if you have students locally keen to do that). Lovely to see new faces to help with our cause

02 02 2023 A visit to the 3rd/5th Sea Squirrels Lancing! A very enjoyable hour talking about our work on Lancing Beach. We brought along our tray of interesting items found, and our bag of toy creatures that have been caught up with plastic. And of course, time to play some litter picking games. In the Spring we will be welcoming the Squirrels down on the beach to do a litter pick with them. The youngsters will gain badges having done their bit to improve their local environment and help the sea creatures

27 11 2022 Sunday Litter Pick 27 Nov. In total, 11 adults and 2 dogs turned up for the session. Some people were regulars and others were here for the first time. All were very accommodating and understanding due to the lack of equipment. We collected a fair amount and we estimate that this was 13Kg of rubbish and 1Kg of recyclables. The weather held off for most of the session with only light rain for part of it. Most noticeable was the significant amount of plastic on the beaches brought in by the recent high and fierce tides. It was a worthwhile pick and there is still quite a lot on the beaches to pick up.

SEPTEMBER 2022 A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO LANCING PARISH COUNCIL
WHO HAVE AWARDED A £1000 GRANT TO KEEP LANCING LOVELY
25 09 22 Keep Lancing Lovely. Today 18 adults and 5 children collected 2.5kg of litter and 0.5kg of litter that can be recycled. The very low weight collected is a brilliant testimony to people using the bins/taking home litter plus the excellent individuals and KLL supporters who regularly pick.... Well done. You can see the aggregated recycled items over several picks that will be collected by our friends and supporters at Adur DC...

Keep Lancing Lovely. I spent some time sketching the wonderful volunteer litter pickers in Lancing and Worthing. This is an illustration focusing on the Lancing litter pick event which happens once a month. I always look for something that catches my eye straight away when I am deciding what to draw. On this occasion I was immediately drawn to the huge metal fish sculpture which has been placed on the green to encourage people to recycle their bottles.
It’s also a spot which is well known for kitesurfing and attracts a lot of visitors. There are many organised groups along the coast and I was struck at just how much fun everyone was having and how many young children were getting involved. It was a real family event and I was made very welcome by everyone. There was a strong sense of community spirit and it left me feeling uplifted and positive about just how much people care. It’s surprising what you’ll find left on the beach and very sad to think how much damage it can do to the ocean and marine life. Why not join a litter pick?
