Scheme to deliver cleaner beaches after funds drive

South Wales evening Post

A fundraising drive using the scheme has hit its target and now aims to roll out a series of beach cleaning stations.\n\nThe clean-up network, which will supplement daily beach cleans by Swansea Council and litter picks by others, is being coordinated by Helen Wright, of Kingsbridge, Swansea.\n\nIn around five months on the crowdfund website, the project has attracted more than 100 financial support pledges, totalling around £3,360.
