Unique Hideaways joins the Million Mile Clean
Penned on the 16th January 2025
Bringing together environmental advocates and activists across the UK, The Million Mile Clean is an annual event designed to tackle plastic pollution and protect our wildlife and natural spaces.
In 2021 Surfers Against Sewage created The Million Mile Clean to rally thousands of volunteers, each cleaning a stretch of blue, green, or city space; an event that will run every year until 2030 and see communities collectively clean millions of miles of UK landscapes.
Unique Hideaways recently joined this impactful event with a beach clean close to our head office. We spent an afternoon scouring the beach for things that have no place on our idyllic coast, from fishing nets to food packaging, as well as some unexpected items including an old cassette! We also took our litter pickers and SAS bags along the surrounding hedgerows and carparks to collect discarded rubbish.
We were pleased to remove 23.65kg of plastic and other waste on this blustery winter’s afternoon, grateful to be outdoors and join together to protect the spaces we love so much. You can create your own or join an event as part of the Million Mile Clean here.
