Join us this Sunday for a free guided snorkel safari 🤿🌊

Swap the footpaths for the underwater world as we explore Bude’s incredible marine life on a guided Snorkel Safari.

We’ll head into the water in search of colourful fish, crabs, starfish, anemones, seaweeds and all the fascinating creatures that call our coastline home. You never know what you might discover beneath the surface!

This session is suitable for confident swimmers who are comfortable snorkelling in the sea. Please bring your own snorkelling equipment, including a mask, snorkel and fins (if you use them), along with appropriate wetsuits and something warm to change into afterwards.

Your safety is our priority, so we’ll only enter the water if conditions are suitable. If the sea is too rough or visibility is poor, we’ll adapt the session or postpone it.

Come and experience Cornwall’s coastline from a whole new perspective!

📍 Meet us at: The 2 Minute Foundation HQ, Bude
⏰ Time: 1pm

MAKE SOMETHING AMAZING FROM PLASTIC! ♻️

🗓️12th September
📍2 Minute HQ, Bude, Cornwall

Ever wondered what happens to the plastic we put in the recycling bins? Come along for a hands-on workshop where we’ll turn recycled plastic into something useful (and funky!) that you can take home.

You’ll learn how to work with recycled plastic using everyday household appliances and equipment, so you’ll leave with not just something you’ve made, but the skills to keep creating at home.

Depending on what you fancy making, you could create:

A card wallet or pouch
A bookmark
A coaster
A keyring
A pair of earrings

There are two sessions available:
🕙 10am–12pm
🕐 1pm–3pm

Booking is essential, and each session is limited to 12 people, so it’s a small, hands-on workshop where you’ll have plenty of opportunity to get stuck in.

Age 16+

💚 A minimum donation of £10 per person is requested to help cover the cost of the workshop. If this would be a barrier to you joining us, please get in touch, we’d love to find a way for you to take part.

Come along, get creative, learn something new and give plastic a second life.

Disposable barbecues are on a temporary ban due to their risk to wildlife, put in place by Andy Burnham who warned Britain is a ‘tinderbox’.

If you want to help out wildlife:

- Leave out wildlife water, shallow bowls of water in your local woodland or even in your garden (pop rocks in so any insects can get out if they fall in)

- Take your litter home and dispose of it safely, in the heat even the smallest spark can cause a fire

- Please don’t drop your cigarette butts - even the ash is a risk when the ground is this dry

- Avoid the BBQ, we know it’s the season, but for the sake of our planet, go for the picky bits and salad instead!

Let’s make some small changes for the sake our beautiful countryside and wildlife this summer who are paying the price of this unprecedented heat 💙

We’ve been asked about the wildfires happening around the UK, and our advice is the following:

- Take your litter home and dispose of it safely, in the heat even the smallest spark can cause a fire
- Please don’t drop your cigarette butts - even the ash is a risk when the ground is this dry
- Avoid the BBQ, we know it’s the season, but for the sake of our planet, go for the picky bits and salad instead!

Every Monday during August, the team are down at Crooklets Beach from 1pm - 3pm for our drop in sessions. Think mini rock pool explorations, beach cleans and quick crafting activities. You can dip in and out, stay as long or as little as you like!

It was a busy one this week, with loads of great chats, plenty of new faces and lots of happening along the way.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and got involved. Every 2 minutes makes a difference!
