Well done 👏

It really is! I keep being asked what the secret is about getting so many volunteers for events but really it’s just Stonehaven! There’s a real volunteering spirit in the town! ❤️

Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all our amazing members/followers 80% of which are women!!Thanks so much for all you do

These are some who’ve helped our charity grow. We’d not be here without them or you. What a team & such a powerful voice for change,love & action!!❤️ #dogsofbluesky

A massive well done & thanks to the 38 volunteers of all ages who came out in the beautiful sunshine to clear 69kgs of waste from #Stonehaven Beach this morning - loads of fishing line, textiles & plastics tangled in the seaweed & some large pieces. Brilliant!

Thank you! They do it so well! 😉🐾

Yes! Absolutely. Mine’s been out the last few days.

Join us for safely briefing at 10am. The beach clean is on 10-11am but all are welcome whatever amount of time you can manage.

Here’s to another great event. It’s a great way to start the weekend & of course the Stonehaven Farmer's Market is on too so don’t forget to pop along.

Do we believe this? Should we look out sunglasses for tomorrow’s #stonehaven beach clean?? 😎

If 50 folk turned out in the pouring rain in Feb, how many will brave sunshine tomorrow? 😉 All welcome & all equipment provided! 10-11am at the Craws Nest

It’s Friday!!!

Get that #FridayFeeling every day of the week by picking up a couple of pieces of #litter on walks. It’s the simplest (& quickest) way to protect animals, communities & the environment there is! 😜

Join us! 29,000 dog owners & counting…

#dogsofbluesky

What’s involved?

It’s super simple - if we all do a little - cleaning up any #litter outside our door, whether a home or business & maybe sweeping away any weeds - it adds up to a huge community effort as a whole.

Not free on the 21st March? do it a few days before or after.

Does YOUR community do this? Or could it?

Join us Sat 21st March for #Stonehaven Spring Clean!

Many communities incl #Shetland (Da Voar Redd Up) hold annual community clean up days.We’re starting this with #plasticfreestonehaven during @keepscotbeautiful.bsky.social’s #springcleanscotland month

On #WorldWildlifeDay help protect animals & the #environment by picking up a couple of pieces of #litter wherever you go.

It only takes a minute & feels great. 29,000 #dog owners removing over 42 million bits of litter every year…..a couple of pieces at a time. Join us! #tongueouttuesday

Picking up some #litter while walking the #dog is a simple idea but so effective where there are lots of us doing it as fewer people actually drop litter when areas are clean

It’s also fab for #mentalhealth doing something that has an immediate,visible impact. Join us! #dogsofbluesky

There’s nothing more productive than encouraging more folk to join us to protect animals,communities & the #environment

None of us can do it all alone. It just leads to overwhelm & frustration at the scale of it. Together we’re a powerful force🐾

Who can you tag?#saturdayvibes

Show us your favourite #tongueouttuesday photo with some #litter you’ve picked up on a #dog walk!

Thanks to Carol in #Llandudno North #Wales, for this beautiful photo of Dexter making a difference on the beach to protect animals & the #environment with still time for some fun!

Be remembered for the smile you left on a friend’s face

For the laugh you gave to a child

For the way you made someone feel

NOT the #litter you left on a street or the animal that it injured

If we REALLY love animals we don’t drop litter and we pick up some when we can.

Amazing turnout for the #Aberdeen #BeachClean yest which we were delighted to support. 200 volunteers, 165 bags & 1.4 tonnes of waste removed

Well done to volunteers & to @ttptnortheast.bsky.social for organising. The beach was in a mess from the storms -so much fishing litter! #scotland

It’s Monday but don’t pretend you don’t see that #litter! 👀🐕 Too many just walk by.

We’re a powerful force for good.Let’s get visible so others follow.

29,000 #dog owners picking up litter to protect animals,communities & the #environment, removing over 42 MILLION every year

If the scale of #litter is overwhelming, if you feel noone cares,don’t lose hope. Loads of folk DO care

Take action & others will follow

We’re a powerful force.Every action counts & it feels good to make a difference

Litter isn’t normal. Don’t accept it.

Be the difference today!

Does roadside #litter bother you?

It’s increasing & hard to reach safely. Here’s what I picked up today from part of the slip road into #Stonehaven - 14.2kgs!! Mostly cans & bottles, coffee cups, fast food packaging & sweetie wrappers.

Litter breeds litter. Good to remove it.

A lovely certificate arrived today!

Many thanks to @tesswhitemsp.bsky.social for raising a Parliamentary motion in recognition of the charity being awarded the #kingsawardforvoluntaryservice & MSPs who supported it

It’s been an amazing few months for the charity! Congrats to all our volunteers!

What difference can you make today?

Here’s Murphy by Gandsfjord in Stavanger #Norway where our founder/chair lived for a few years. Show us your fave scenic photo of your dog to see our charity’s spread across the world. #nationalloveyourpetday #dogsofbluesky #pawsonplastic
