✨DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS THIS EVENT WILL NOW TAKE PLACE BETWEEN SEP 13th - SEP 17th 2021 ✨

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Hellen and I run an independent eco-conscious children's lifestyle store in Sheffield. 

For the last 5 years I have been dedicated to learning and spreading awareness for the message of steps in which we can all live a more eco-conscious life. From the products I sell within my store, to how I live personally - small changes within my own lifestyle choices to help preserve and protect out planet for our next generation and beyond.

Small Stuff was certified by The Planet Mark in 2020 and during that ever so topsy turvy year, I knew that I needed to do more. With the increase of single use plastics due to PPE and the pandemic, our seas, shores and wildlife are suffering.

The Marine Conservation Society is the UK's leading charity for the protection of our seas, shores and wildlife and they do incredible work, with recent campaigns such as protecting UK sharks and #StopthePlasticTide - a campaign to stop plastics from entering the sea.

Due to Covid restrictions, the decision has been made by The Marine Conservation Society to push this challenge back a little bit to September 2021. I will be taking part in a Kayaking Challenge, island hopping in the Isles of Scilly just off Cornwall to learn about the detrimental effect we are having on our seemingly untouched coastlines. We will spend our day's litter picking and our evening's camping.

Offline I have raised a deposit of £250 which has already directly been paid to the MCS - but now we need your help! The target for the whole challenge is £995 and we’re not far off. 

This challenge will not only raise vital funds for such an incredible charity, but also will be a personal challenge testing me (completely out of my comfort zone!) having never kayaked before, nor camped alone! So it’ll all be a personal challenge for me too.
