We’ve just made a new website! Lots of time and energy gone into it and would love you to visit it.

The main improvement is that our servers are now based in Cork. Hollyhill to be exact. Neighbours to the $3.5 trillion people.

Massive thanks to @rgsweetnam.zq.ie for super help with hosting.

With the support of @hsscu.bsky.social yesterday we had a fantastic day on Garrylucas Beach, doing #MarineEducation with over 200 fabulous kids from four local schools. Take a bow, all the children and teachers from #Ballinspittle, #Ballinadee, #Gurraneasig and #ScoilNaomhEltin.

Our next 1-hour Beach Clean is this Sunday in Pilmore at 11 am to 12 pm. As always we'll provide pickers, bags and vests - you need only provide yourselves, kids and friends! 😊
(ps: maybe do bring gloves if you want!👐)

We turn 10 years old in just a few short weeks. In 2025, we will be adding this street vac to our fleet and will be targeting cigarette butts and doing a whole education piece on it. We can’t wait.

Here it is almost finished in “make-up”.

More on this really soon.

It gives us a big thrill when we get an order for our 2025 Calendar through our website.

2 orders within 24 hours!! The website is holding! 😅

(Thank you to those who buy from our website and from the shops - it's a huge help!)
