Fundraising toolkit for schools and groups
Your school or group could help turn the tide on our ocean, and have fun doing it!
Show your support
Support us for a day, a week, or a whole school year while learning about the ocean, climate change, and community responsibility. There are lots of things you can do to become a champion for our seas, from fun runs and bake sales to sponsored beach cleans and litter picks. Download our editable posters to promote your event, and if you’re collecting cash, ask us for a collection box to keep it safe!

You can make a real difference
£100 could equip 10 volunteers to survey litter found on our beaches
£500 could help us bring an inland school or community group to the coast for the first time, to nurture their connection to the ocean and learn more about how they can help protect it
£1000 could help protect 5000m2 of endangered seagrass, which is the habitat for many seahorses
