We support the great environmental work being done by Ocean Generation to tackle ocean pollution. The reason we chose them as our charity partner was that when asked to vote for their nominated charity, 53% of the 600 staff at London branches of Chestertons estate agency opted to support a charity focused on eliminating ocean pollution.
“We have all become increasingly dependent on plastic as part of our everyday lives but this reliance is causing massive damage to the health of our ocean. Chestertons’ support of Ocean Generation will not only help raise awareness of this issue but also support people to make positive changes that will hopefully reverse this worrying trend.” – Salah Mussa, founder of The Chestertons Foundation
The Chestertons Foundation helped fund Ocean Generation’s Ocean Academy programme, which provides education and tools for young people from ages 5-16 to help protect the ocean. With the Foundation’s support, they have educated 40,000 young people on the importance of our oceans, the threats they face and what can be d one to safeguard them.
