2024 was a remarkable year for the Final Straw Foundation. The team kicked off the year with their annual Eastney beach clean, the first of 27 beach cleans in 2024. Thanks to 1782 volunteers, they removed an incredible 2582 kg of litter from our environment. Their education outreach team made a huge impact, teaching 13,512 children about environmental stewardship through workshops, assemblies, and wild beach schools. The Borrow Bag project also flourished, with over 300 kg of fabric diverted from landfills by 398 volunteers, helping remove up to 130,000 plastic bags from circulation. Looking ahead, they are excited to continue working with schools, businesses, and communities in 2025, alongside launching their new accreditation scheme. This initiative will help businesses across all sectors reduce their environmental impact.
