We’ve had a busy year here at the Trust, and we are proud of what we’ve achieved as a small team of staff and volunteers. From clothes swaps and sewing socials, to beach cleans and releasing our fourth Marine Litter Report, we wanted to share with you what we’ve been up to both publicly, and behind the scenes, over the course of the year.
