Cronulla RSL, we’re proud to play our part in caring for the coastline we all treasure. That’s why we’re excited to support ‘Clean Up, Up Cronulla’, a free family-friendly event dedicated to protecting our beaches and celebrating community spirit.
Happening on Sunday 21 September 2025 at Dunningham Park, Cronulla, this event invites locals to roll up their sleeves and get involved in a beach clean-up while enjoying live music, giveaways, tasty treats, and plenty of family fun.
Together with Sutherland Shire Council, the Surfrider Foundation Cronulla is helping to create a day that not only restores the natural beauty of our coastline but also inspires lasting change for a cleaner, safer environment. The day is supported by Sharks Have Heart & Cronulla RSL.
From learning about the impacts of plastic on marine life to joining hands in removing litter from North Cronulla Beach, the event is all about taking small actions that lead to a big difference. Plus, families can enjoy face painting, a live animal display, raffles, free ice cream or coffee (don’t forget your keep cup!), and live performances that add to the festive atmosphere.
As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, Cronulla RSL is proud to support initiatives like ‘Clean Up, Up Cronulla’—because protecting our oceans and beaches today means creating a healthier future for generations to come.
Be sure to stop by and chat with the Cronulla RSL team on the day to learn more about what the Club is doing behind the scenes. Sustainability is woven into our operations and culture, guiding the decisions we make to reduce our environmental impact and promote responsible practices across all areas of the Club.
