It’s been such a busy six months for us here at the Final Straw Solent. Beach cleans, schools outreach, beach cleans, meeting with councils and key local stakeholders – you can read a summary of it all in the document below.

A huge thanks to EACH and EVERY person, business and community group that has welcomed, supported and shouted about us over the last few months – none of this would have been possible without you all.
