Our Partnerships
Simple charitable giving
The businesses we work with raise money for our grant fund in a variety of ways.
For some, this is offering customers the chance to make a donation at the point of sale; for others, it may be making regular donations based on a percentage of online sales.
Whatever the mechanism, we work with our partners to make donating and raising money a simple process. And the money raised is used to fund our grant giving process.
Bespoke partnerships
We are supported by a range of partners who each fundraise for us in the way that suits them best.
We will work with you every step of the way to make sure we set up a partnership arrangement and fundraising process that works for your business model and is as easy to implement as possible.
Get in touch and we can discuss what might work best for you.

Bunzl plc
In 2020, Sea-Changers formed an exciting new partnership with Bunzl plc to sponsor the Coastal Fountain Fund.
The programme provides funding to groups and organisations who wish to install water bottle refill fountains on UK beaches or other coastal sites. The fund aims to tackle the increasing problem of plastic bottles being left as marine litter, causing a negative impact to the marine environment and marine species.
River Island
In 2018, River Island raised money for marine conservation by supporting Sea-Changers.
The fashion giant produced limited-edition seal and penguin mannequins in their seasonal window displays.
The mannequins were available to purchase and raised £14,457.21 for Sea-Changers.
