Our final scheduled Blue Lagoon event of 2026 is this month! 🌊💙

Join us as we support Aspire, a charity providing practical support to people living with spinal cord injuries.

Earlier this year, two members of our team joined a six-person relay to swim the English Channel to raise money for Aspire. It's a cause particularly close to the heart of James, our Director of Programme & Product Development, making this event even more special.

Don't miss our final 2026 event and help us raise money for an incredible cause!

Celebrating community impact across Pembrokeshire 💙

Last week, PAVS - Pembrokeshire Association of Voluntary Services welcomed organisations from across Pembrokeshire to The VC Gallery Pembroke Dock to unveil a new film showcasing the impact of the Hwb Cymunedol Sir Benfro - Pembrokeshire Community Hub.

Our Director of Sustainability, Marten Lewis, was invited to speak at the event, sharing Bluestone's journey and the social value we deliver through the Bluestone Foundation and everyday business activities - work made possible by our ongoing partnership with PAVS, who support and advise potential applicants before passing them on for consideration by the Bluestone Foundation committee.

186 miles, 16 days, and a cause worth every step 🥾💙

Richard is walking the 186-mile-long Pembrokeshire Coast Path for the Ella Rose Fund, and we joined him for leg one!

Last Thursday, two members of the Bluestone Foundation laced up alongside Richard and family friend Matthew for the very first leg of his coastal challenge - 14 miles from Amroth to Skrinkle Haven.

The trail took them through Wiseman's Bridge, Saundersfoot, Tenby and Lydstep Haven Beach. With over 600m of elevation gained along the way, day 1 ended with breathtaking views over Skrinkle Haven and Church Doors Cove.

Over 16 days, Richard will be walking the entire Pembrokeshire Coastal Walk, from Amroth to St Dogmaels, in support of the Ella Rose Fund, with his son Owen joining him for other stretches along the way.

The Ella Rose Fund supports young adults experiencing mental health challenges by helping them access the support they need and creating opportunities to thrive. The fund honours the memory of Richard's daughter, Ella, who lived with Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD), sometimes known as Borderline Personality Disorder.

We're proud to be walking alongside this cause.

We're delighted to be backing their journey through donations to help with with some of the costs and kit required.
