The first anniversary/birthday of Coastal Cleaners Andalucia was celebrated on March 19th with a group meal at Gateway to India. Decorated with bunting made from recycled animal food bags and with a beautiful cake, we all relaxed together and toasted our successful first year.

The days total of 120 bags pushed our first year total to a whopping 1060.

Cleaning 3 locations in the one day, we really did make a difference to the local area. Our efforts have been recognised numerous times in print but this was the first time we have been filmed. The production team for the show Sun, sea and selling houses recorded our pre clean brief, after clean talk and members of the Garner family and their business joining in on the beach near Garrucha. The show is due to air late July/August and will hopefully help shine a light on what is undoubtedly a massive global issue that we are trying to raise awareness of on a local scale.

As the founder of CCA I would like to say a massive and heartfelt thank you to everyone who has volunteered, donated and supported both myself and the group this year.

Here's to the next one!
