Join the Beach of Dreams network

The Beach of Dreams Network consists of various groups, organisations and individuals from across the UK who are coming together for Beach of Dreams in 2025.

Each organisation will host events or activities, gather local stories and develop climate pledges to help future generations in their area. More than 200 organisations from the arts, environment and walking sectors have already expressed an interest in taking part.

We will extend the offer to international partners to echo this activity globally through our involvement with the World Trails Network.
