The Sea-Changers is pleased to announce the launch of the 2022 Coastal Fountain Fund.
The purpose of the fund is to reduce the impact of single-use plastic water bottles on coastal habitats by funding communities to purchase water drinking fountains and install them for use by the public in busy or environmentally important areas. So far they have funded 10 fountains around the UK with more imminent!
The Sea-Changers Coastal Fountain Fund is supported by Bunzl plc.
