We are absolutely thrilled to be fundraising for a new ‘Nellie’ the big metal fish for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) area.

Our Nellie had a very successful visit to Bournemouth over July and we are now working with We have the POWER and Plastic Free Bournemouth to create BCP’s own ‘Nellie’ for recycling single-use plastic bottles and aluminium cans. We are looking for support and donations to make this happen – can you help? Any donations are welcome, you can find out all about it here:  https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/bcp-recycling-fish-sculpture

Thanks!
