The
Final Straw Foundation! 1 a registered charity working 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.
We
started in Emsworth, Hampshire in 2018 as a group of
volunteers giving our time to help clean up our local
community spaces and, in time, the surrounding areas.
We
originally focussed on encouraging businesses to cut back on
the amount of disposable, pointless plastic that is used. We
ran a few beach cleans and started talking to the local
communities in the Solent area, and grew from there.

We started out as the Final Straw Emsworth, then needed to
grow because we had so much interest in the campaign and so
became the Final Straw Solent. We were a non-profit
Community Interest Company (CIC) from June 2018 through to
September 2020, at which point we gained our charity
registration and became the Final Straw Foundation CIO.
