Beach Buddies is an award winning, globally recognised charity which has been cleaning up our Island - and communities as far away as Hong Kong - for 20 years. Founder Bill Dale was even awarded the British Empire Medal in 2017 for his work protecting the marine environment. Christy DeHaven chats with Bill to find out more about the incredible journey, which started with a dog walk in Ballaugh and ended up with 22,000 volunteers armed with litter pickers.
