Driven by people who actively use the our oceans and beaches, it represents over 350,000 regular supporters and now mobilises the biggest beach clean community in the UK, some 30,000 volunteers annually contributing over 150,000 hours of time to protecting beaches nationwide.

Founders
Goodfest was set up by a group of creatives who are passionate about purposeful work, making a difference and inspiring change. Based in the South West and surrounded by great individuals, great projects and great businesses tackling some of the biggest social and environmental challenges, they felt it was time to share some stories with a wider community of change-makers, have some fun and maybe just spark a new wave of ideas.
They are Matt Hocking from LEAP, Ben Akers and Claire Wilkinson from MadeWith+ and Laura Giles from Cultivator Cornwall. We are immensely grateful to all the other inspiring collaborators behind-the-scenes who have helped us to get to this point.
