Over 250 surfers took part in the 2008 Chain for Charity. The event not only raises funds for worthwhile causes, but also highlights the importance of responsible use of the beach and protection of marine life.

Sustainable development and green-craft workshops play a big part in the event programme. Members of the public can participate in free activities, such as green woodworking above.
