At the Final Straw Foundation, we’re tackling the tide of plastic and sewage pollution head-on. From beach cleans, citizen science programmes and community campaigns to school workshops and business partnerships, we work to protect our oceans, waterways and countryside from the devastating impact of waste. Founded on the South Coast of England, UK, we’ve grown into a vibrant, hands-on charity that inspires positive environmental action at every level – individuals, communities and businesses.

Together, we can turn the tide on pollution and create a cleaner, healthier future for our planet.
