Churches join Beach Buddies in Island first

Trinity and Loch Promenade team up with coastline cleaners

The Island's coastline cleaners Beach Buddies have teamed up with the Methodist Church for the first time.

Two churches joined the buddies in Douglas and held a service before the weekend clean-up.

Around 50 took part, with a congregation made up of members of Trinity's and Loch Promenade's congregations.

Trinity Methodist Church is the first in the Isle of Man to be given an eco-church award by A Rocha, the Christian environmental organisation.
