About Sea the change
Who We Are
A community-led organisation creating positive local change.
Sea The Change was established in 2018 by a group of dedicated volunteers with a shared aim: to encourage people to spend time outdoors while caring for the environment around them.
As our work grew and demand for our services increased, Sea The Change evolved into a community interest organisation supported by a small staff team. This growth has enabled us to expand our reach, develop new initiatives, and deliver more impactful projects for the communities we serve.
Our Values in Action
Creating Welcoming Community Spaces
We create welcoming spaces where people feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to take part. Our activities are designed to be inclusive and accessible, helping people of all ages and abilities feel confident getting involved.
Whether through cycling, environmental projects, or community events, we focus on removing barriers and fostering positive, shared experiences. By working closely with local people, we ensure our spaces are safe, respectful, and shaped by the communities they serve.

— Our Mission
Our mission is to support wellbeing, sustainability, and positive environmental action through community-led projects. We aim to encourage people to connect with the outdoors, care for their local environment, and lead healthier, more active lives.
By combining practical action with education and engagement, we help individuals and communities make small changes that lead to lasting impact.

— Our Vision
We envision thriving, connected communities where people feel empowered to care for their environment and support one another. A future where access to outdoor activity, sustainable transport, and inclusive opportunities is available to all.
Through collaboration, creativity, and local action, we believe positive change can start small and grow far beyond our immediate surroundings.

— Our Story
Sea The Change began in 2018 as a volunteer-led initiative driven by a passion for the outdoors and environmental care. What started as small, community-focused activities quickly grew as more people engaged with our work.
As demand increased, we evolved into a community interest organisation supported by a small staff team. This growth has allowed us to expand our projects, develop new services, and reach more people, while staying true to our grassroots values and community focus.
