PROJECTS THAT CREATE LASTING IMPACT
From workplace wellbeing and leadership to environmental action and community engagement, our projects are designed to strengthen confidence, participation and meaningful social value across workplaces and communities.
CURRENT PROJECTS:
Coastal Wealth
National Lottery funded.
What is Coastal Wealth?
Coastal Wealth is a multi-edition, cross-community environmental campaign delivered across Yorkshire’s coastal towns bringing inland and coastal communities together through facilitated clean-ups, shared reflection and collective action.
Each edition is built around an inland and a coastal counterpart community partner, creating cross-community and locally rooted experiences that generate social value, volunteer development and lasting community connection.
Coastal Wealth is about more than litter collection. It is designed to support:
-
Community engagement and social value
-
Next generation development
-
Employee & family volunteering
-
Confidence, participation and pathways towards contribution
-
Environmental awareness and wellbeing
-
Stronger relationships between inland and coastal communities
We launched the campaign at Filey Beach on 28 February 2026, with 7th Harrogate St Marks Scouts as our inland partner and 1st Filey Scouts as the coastal counterpart.
Supported by North Yorkshire Council, the launch brought together 53 participants spanning generations (from babies to grandparents) alongside partners including Surfers Against Sewage and CJ’s Fish & Chips, Filey.

CAMPAIGN PARTNERS
HADCA Power of 10:
Power of 10 encourages young people to build confidence, skills and wellbeing through volunteering and community participation.
Young people joining Coastal Wealth will receive a volunteering passport to record their contribution and explore future opportunities in their communities.
Participants can log up to 6 volunteering hours through one Coastal Wealth event.
The Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS):
Founded in 1868 and granted a Royal Charter by Queen Victoria, the Royal Commonwealth Society is a network of individuals and organisations committed to improving the lives and prospects of Commonwealth citizens across the world. Through youth empowerment, education and high-level advocacy, the Society champions literacy, equality and inclusion, the environment and connected communities across the Commonwealth’s 54 member nations.
Their Commonwealth Clean Oceans Plastics Campaign brings together communities across all 54 nations to prevent one million pieces of plastic from entering Commonwealth waterways through education, local action and behaviour change.
Coastal Wealth is formally aligned with this campaign, contributing community-level environmental action and civic dialogue from the Yorkshire coast to this international movement.
Yorkshire Housing's mission is to create places where people feel proud to live, connecting people, places and purpose across Yorkshire and beyond.
As a Coastal Wealth campaign partner, they bring that commitment directly to this campaign supporting community-led environmental action that builds local pride and protects the coastline.
