They won a 2021 Points of Light Award from the Prime Minister for sustainability and innovation and are now available at Waitrose and John Lewis or direct from oceanplasticpots.com.

A new series of Cold Water Therapy retreats at Three Mile Beach in Gwithian Towans, Cornwall, celebrates the reinvigorating and restorative properties of the ocean through surf lessons, wild sea swimming and coasteering.
