Beach Guardian CIC is a Community Interest Company based in Cornwall.It was co-founded by father and daughter duo: Rob and Marine Biologist Emily. They organise community beach cleans as well as conducting educational workshops within schools and other groups. Their aim is to connect people with the environment to improve health and well being of both people and planet.

This summer, having received funding from Prince William and his Duke of Cornwall’s Marine Environment Fund, they have refurbished their Mission Centre including a lick of green paint from Community RePaint Cornwall, St Austell.

Rob writes; “We want to give a massive thanks to Carolyn from Prosperity Paint Hub who helped us with the paint that we needed. Their aim is to protect the environment and improve the wellbeing of people, and appearance of places, across the UK by diverting reusable leftover paint from disposal and redistributing it to community groups, local charities, families and individuals.’

The green paint is not only green in colour, but also the sustainable choice too. The paint picked up from our Community RePaint schemes is all paint that has been saved from going to waste, it would have otherwise ended up in landfill or being incinerated.
