One day. One community. One big clean-up.

For the past four years, hundreds of people across North Devon have grabbed a pair of gloves, a bag, and a dose of determination to take part in our Day of Action, a region-wide clean-up day dedicated to making a real, visible difference to the places we love.

Plastic pollution isn’t slowing down. Production is expected to triple by 2060, and plastics are now found in our food, water, and even our bodies. It’s easy to feel powerless, but local, collective action proves otherwise.

The Day of Action is about more than picking up litter. It’s about connection: with each other, with nature, and with the problem itself. When we act together, we spark bigger conversations, about what we buy, how we consume, and how businesses and governments can do better.

Last year, volunteers joined from all over North Devon, collecting hundreds of kilos of waste. This year, we’re going even bigger.

Here’s how you can get involved:

Join or host a clean on Saturday 31 January 2026 (locations tbc)
Get your business involved in the week leading up to it, a brilliant CSR opportunity
Encourage your school, club, or workplace to take part
Log your clean to be entered into our prize draw

Together, we can show that local action has global impact, and that North Devon’s community spirit is stronger than ever.

Save the Date: 31st January 2026
