HUGE congratulations to M&S, the Marine Conservation Society and everyone who took part - making a REAL difference!
Over 6,000 M&S customers and employees cleaned over 100 beaches and canals up and down the country in the first ever M&S Big Beach Clean-up, organised by the Marine Conservation Society.
The M&S Big Beach Clean-up is part of Forever Fish, M&S’ campaign to help customers and their children learn more about fish, clean our British beaches and protect UK marine life. It is funded by the 5p carrier bag charge in M&S foodhalls. Since its introduction in 2008, the charge has reduced carrier bag use by 80 per cent and raised over £4 million for charity.
