Documenting Beach Cleanups

“Found Objects” mini-gallery

During beach cleanups in 2025, The Loft Collective came across a number of unusual discarded items. While each object is a reminder of waste left in the environment, they also tell small stories of everyday life — from a child’s toy to a forgotten glove.

social consultation presentation

This video presents The Loft Collective’s vision from early 2025. It was originally delivered during a public consultation at Saltcoats Library on February 3rd, where the team introduced themselves to the local community and shared their ideas for the future.

Due to a lack of initial funding, many activities had to be moved online and the programme restructured. Nevertheless, the presentation demonstrates an ambitious and well-intentioned plan, which the Collective aims to bring to fruition in the coming years as it strengthens its presence locally.
