For anyone new to this site; I thought I’d tell you a little bit about some of the things I get involved with as ‘Coastal Custodian’ 

 

You will see from our Facebook page (which I run on my own voluntarily) that I am a huge supporter of Northumberland’s local businesses and creatives promoting #shoplocal and #supportsmallbusinesses whilst showcasing our beautiful area through my photography, videos and live streams. However in addition to this there are lots of other things I am involved with such as:

​

• Reporting problems to and assisting ranger and wildlife services such as British Divers Marine Rescue, Coast Care, Northumberland Wildlife Trust Space for Shorebirds, RNLI, and the Coastguard officers and staff.

​

• Litter picking and beach cleans 

​

• Reporting local maintenance issues to local councils and environmental organisations such as National Trust and Northumberland County Council 

 

• Organising fundraising to support local projects 

 

• Raising awareness of coastal access to all through highlighting programmes such as Beach Wheelchairs and the Outdoor Guide schemes 

 

• Assisting visitors around coastal areas and beaches giving directions, advice and information about local facilities, businesses and events.
