Sea-Changers are pleased to announce the launch of the 2026 Coastal Fountain Fund. 

The fund aims to protect coastal habitats from the harmful effects of single-use plastic water bottles by supporting communities to purchase water refill fountains for busy or environmentally significant coastal areas.   

Grants of up to £2,500 are available, per applicant, towards the cost of a fountain. Sea-Changers welcome applications from all types of not-for-profit organisations who have identified a need and are well-placed to build the stakeholder involvement needed to make the project a success.   

Part of the funding this year comes from Our Only World – a marine conservation charity who designed and built their own bottle refill fountain. Their funding will be allocated to organisations applying for an Our Only World fountain. 

The closing date for applications is 28th February 2026. You can find out more and apply at https://www.sea-changers.org.uk/coastal-fountain-fund.
