大象传媒

The Final Straw Foundation, based in Emsworth, is a finalist in the Green category in 大象传媒 Radio Solent's Make a Difference Awards for 2024.

The charity works with local communities and businesses to highlight the impact of plastic pollution on our environment and to try to minimise the amount of plastic entering our local seas and wider oceans.

They work with many different types of business on sustainability and to help them find ethical and sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic in their activities. They also run a school outreach programme, reaching thousands of children in the south through assemblies and workshops. They work with community groups, giving talks and running activities and encouraging people to avoid single-use plastic and how to best dispose of it if they do need to use it. They also run regular beach and community clean-ups.

The Make a Difference Awards are your chance to say 鈥淭hank You鈥� and show recognition and appreciation for people who love to make life better for others. Nominations for the 2024 awards have now closed and finalists have been selected by a panel of judges. The winners will be announced at our 大象传媒 Radio Solent Make a Difference Awards ceremony in September.
