Saundersfoot Wombles will be hosting a ‘Tales from the Tideline’ event in the seaside village, to highlight a display of items collected from local beaches by volunteers.

Ever wondered what washes up on our beaches? Stop by the drop-in event at the Regency Hall, on Saturday, January 31, between 12 and 4pm, to see firsthand what the Saundersfoot Wombles beach cleaners have collected off local beaches and find out how marine litter impacts the wildlife living along our coastline.

A spokesperson for the Wombles shared: “We'll have all sorts of weird and wonderful (and not-so-wonderful) finds on display from our recent beach cleans, plus art pieces created from beach plastic and you can get hands-on and help create a new artwork from materials we've collected!

“Come and see how small actions can make a big difference to our beaches.”

The event is supported by the South Hook LNG Community Fund and PAVS.

Saundersfoot Wombles were in the spotlight recently at the Pembrokeshire Association of Voluntary Services (PAVS) awards held in Narberth, where they received a Highly Commended in the Open Award category.

The accolade was accepted on behalf of the group by volunteers Maureen Bartlett and Sam Turner - who also serves as Saundersfoot Community Council manager.

A spokesperson for Saundersfoot Community Council said: “The award highlights the Wombles’ continued hard work and dedication in keeping the village looking clean, welcoming, and vibrant.

“Their efforts throughout the year have made a real difference to residents and visitors alike.

County councillor for the seaside village’s south ward, Cllr Chris Williams praised the group for their contribution to the community.

“The award highlights the Wombles’ continued hard work and dedication in helping to keep the village looking clean and welcoming throughout the year, and we are all delighted!” he said.
