Sea-Changers Coastal Fountain Fund 2025 is now open for applications.
The fund, which began in 2020, has re-opened to applicants who want to install a water bottle refill station in a busy or environmentally important coastal location.
Since the fund began they have enabled nearly 40 fountains to be installed around the coasts of the British Isles and they can’t wait to see more popping up later this year.
The fund aims to tackle the increasing problem of plastic bottles accumulating in marine and coastal locations as they damage these environments and the species that call them home. The provision of these water refill stations can significantly reduce the numbers of non-reusable plastic drinks bottles found on our beaches.
The fund is sponsored by the specialist international distribution and services group, Bunzl plc that are supporting this work as part of their response to the plastic challenge. The issue remains widespread on UK's beaches despite the rising awareness around the dangers of single-use plastic.
Each applicant can bid for up to £2,5000 to fund the purchase of one fountain.
How to apply
Full details on how to apply, lots of guidance and FAQs, and the full funding criteria can be found here (please scroll right down the web-page to see all the available information).
The closing date for applications is Friday 25 April 2025.
