good causes on the catwalk
chloe - 29/4/08
The kids from Devoran School put on a fashion show last week to raise funds for their school and we were happy to help out by providing some Seasalt clothing.
How great do they all look!
The beach dresses the girls are wearing are available in all our stores now - Find us in Falmouth, Penzance, Truro, Padstow, Fowey, Totnes, Scilly and St Ives.
reduce, re-use, recycle
simon iggulden 01/05/07
In our Seasalt stores we follow the three R’s wherever we can. For instance, we recycle all plastic packaging. Whether it is a Seasalt skirt or a White Stuff shirt, the wrapping around any new item is collected up and sent to our dedicated unit in Penryn. It is collected from here and turned into the plastic covering used on agricultural land. We are pleased to say that plenty of Cornish potatoes have been warmed up with the plastic we collect and recycle.
a greener message...
neil chadwick 15/04/07
We have been busy working alongside some great local organisations to help promote a greener Cornwall. Part of our contribution has been to help fund some ‘green’ boarding cards for passengers to the Isles of Scilly. Anyone travelling on the helicopter or Skybus to the islands will now receive a re-usable boarding card that carries an environmental message, helping visitors to have a greener holiday. Another way we have been spreading the word has been through some ‘visitor charter postcards’ that are being distributed across the southwest. They will reach 100,000 visitors, giving tips about how to be Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly’s favourite type of visitor. The messages on the postcards will encourage people to think local, use public transport and of course follow the three R’s wherever possible. Find out more…
helping to recycle on scilly
neil chadwick 12/03/07
Seasalt has just purchased six large recycling bins on Scilly. Scillywaste needed funding for six recycling bins to be dotted around the islands - and we were happy to help. Lookout for the bins and make sure you play your part - reduce - re-use - recycle.
falmouth school ID cards
neil chadwick - 15/02/07
Recently we were very pleased to give some cash to Falmouth School towards purchasing ID cards. Our sponsorship has enabled the school, in part, to purchase security software, card printer and cards for all visitors. Without the support of Seasalt, the school would have found it very difficult to introduce the scheme.
christmas raffle

Our 2006 Christmas raffle raised £2566.50 for Marie Curie Cancer Care, with first prize being a £500 gift voucher for our stores. This is an annual event and something we’ve been very proud of.
award winning seasalt
leigh chadwick 10/01/07
Not blowing our own trumpet (too much!) but we thought you may like to hear about some awards we’ve won here at Seasalt.
We’ve been named the UK’s best family business after winning the national final of the Yell Family Business Awards 2006 run by the publisher of the Yellow pages.
We also won the prestigious Cornwall Sustainability Award for Best Environmental Initiative in 2005 in recognition of our Soil Association certification on our organic cotton.
Neil Chadwick, Seasalt founder was named as Cornwall’s Entrepreneur of the Year in the Cornwall Business Awards 2006. This was partly due to Seasalt becoming the first fashion company to have garments certified to Soil Association standards. We won the ‘best family business’ category of the Orange Small Is Beautiful Awards in 2004.
We’ve also been recognised by Restormel Borough Council for the regeneration of our Fowey shop in 2003. We won design, conservation and environmental awards.
