HQ Function

Serves as the central hub for campaign planning, policy work, scientific research, fundraising, communications, education programmes, and administration for the charity's national efforts in marine conservation.

Notable Features:

Located within Wheal Kitty Workshops, an eco-park that hosts other environmentally conscious businesses, reflecting SAS's commitment to sustainability. The office space often features campaign materials and educational displays related to marine conservation.

Work Culture:

Passionate, collaborative, and impact-driven, with a strong connection to the coastal environment. Staff and volunteers are deeply committed to the cause, often being active water users themselves.

HQ Significance:

The Cornwall location is highly symbolic, placing the organization at the heart of UK surfing culture and on the frontline of the coastal environmental issues it champions. It facilitates direct engagement with affected communities and environments.

Values Reflected in HQ: The HQ's location and setting reflect values of sustainability, community action, connection to nature, and a grassroots approach to environmental activism. Proximity to the ocean underscores their core mission.

Location:

While Surfers Against Sewage primarily focuses its direct campaigning and operational efforts within the United Kingdom, the issues it addresses, such as plastic pollution and ocean health, are global in nature. SAS collaborates with international organizations, shares insights and campaign models, and participates in global coalitions (e.g., Break Free From Plastic) and forums to contribute to worldwide marine conservation efforts. Their work often inspires and informs similar grassroots movements internationally.
