Our book Wild Seas, Wilder Cities will arrive on 21st October! How do you get your copy?
Thanks to everyone who entered our ‘community’ competition. The judges have made their verdicts, and the results are now available here!
With £100 recently raised by the Pens friends litter pick, we’ve hit our target of £2,000 to publish our book. That means we’re now directly raising money for the Solent Seagrass Restoration Project!
The litter pick is ongoing, having recently reached over 3,000 pieces of litter (new target: 4,000). It will continue until our launch on October 21st.
It’s a fabulous feeling to announce that all proceeds from our book launch – including ticket sales, book sales, litter picking and litter art sales – will go to supporting the wonderful and essential work of restoring seagrasses.
Our book will become available to pre-order from Pigeon Books from early summer onwards (for collection or delivery).
Tickets for our book launch event at Portsmouth Guildhall are now available at the bargain price of £6 each. It’s going to be great and we’d love to see you there! Order your tickets from the Guildhall here.
Our competition deadline has now passed. Thank you to everyone who entered! Results will be announced by 30th April 2024.
Don’t forget, our competition on the theme of ‘community’ runs until the 14th January 2024 – only a month (and a bit) to go! You can read all about what we’re after here.
Our Crowdfunder ended on 4th December. Thanks to everyone who supported us! We reached 80% of our goal of £2000, but we can add to that several donations made outside the Crowdfunder itself.
Rest assured that we have enough funds to proceed with our plans to produce the book, launch it at the Guildhall on 21st October 2024, and sell it to raise funds for the Solent Seagrass Restoration Project.
If you didn’t get tickets for the launch, or pre-order a copy of the book, don’t worry: there will be more opportunities. Watch this space …
We have a date and a venue for our book launch: 21st October 2024 at the Portsmouth Guildhall! See the dedicated page here for more details, and remember that tickets for the event are available right now through our Crowdfunder (select ‘Book Launch Event Ticket’ on the right hand side).
The write-up of our book project launch is now available to read – it’s a great opportunity to catch up on all the material that was shared on the night: stories, poetry and information about the project and our charity.
