Below summarise are our aims and objectives:

## The Advancement Of Health Or Saving Of Lives 

We remove plastic from the environment (primarily coastlines) and this has a (immeasurably small) positive cumulative impact on the health of flaura and fauna including humans.

By removing plastic from the environment we are attempting to return it to its natural state.

## Ensuring we Deliver 

We monitor web traffic and search terms to check that our website, is delivering information to the public. 

We also regularly publish metrics on the amount of plastic removed from beaches, relative to donations. The metric for this is GBP/KG. 

## **Finances** 

Our funding is supplemented by direct payments for goods and services from Southwest Environmental Limited and from the personal funds of Will Thorpe (Trustee). At present the charities direct income is not sufficient to meet our expenditure, hence the subsidies. Trustees & Volunteers also pay for some of their own food and fuel. 

## **Income** 

Our income for this for our accounting period £610. Broken down as follows: 

- £50 Donation from Southwest Environmental Limited 

- £500 Grant from Sea Changers 

- £60 Various Donations from Members of the Public 

Grant from Sea Changers was restricted: Not to be used for the purchase of food and drink. 

## **Out Goings** 

Our outgoings of £276 paid direct from our PayPal Account are for equipment: 

- Large Bulk Bags for Collection of Plastics 

- Gloves 

- Camping Equipment (Table, Pegs, Propane, Saucepans, Bowls and Mugs) 

The above equipment is required to ensure 

- The efficient collection plastic from remote coastline locations.
