All ticket sales will be split 50/50 between local charities Final Straw Foundation and Verity's Gift and spent to provide new play equipment for Emsworth and on cleaning our local coasts of plastic pollution. To date, Verity's Gift has supplied Emsworth with a fabulous new park for the children to enjoy and has now focussing on renewing the basketball court. After 124 beach cleans and removing 39,000KG from our shores, Final Straw Foundation is aiming to reach litter pick 150 and hit 45,000KG of waste removed. Every penny raised will help to do just that to make our coasts clean and safe for our wildlife and our children to play on.
