The foundation is supporting 2 amazing charity’s and more information is found below
THE OCEAN CLEANUP
This Netherlands based charity is working to rid the world's oceans of plastic. Plastic pollution is set to quadruple by mid-century, impacting our ecosystems, health and economies. That's why The Ocean Cleanup team are embarking on the biggest clean-up in history, to remove 90% of floating ocean plastic pollution by 2040. On top of that, they're developing advanced solutions to intercept plastic in rivers, to halt it before it can enter the ocean.

TUSK TRUST
This UK based charity has a vision for a future in which people and wildlife can both thrive across Africa. Founded at the height of the last poaching crisis in Africa when 100,000 elephants were being slaughtered every year for ivory, Tusk are on a mission to ensure we are not the generation that lets Africa's unique wildlife disappear. Through progressive conservation initiatives using technology, the conservation of healthy habitats and involving local people in the solutions, Tusk are paving the way for a sustainable future for Africa's incredible wildlife.
