Take action for ocean health

The 2 Minute Foundation is a registered charity, that encourages everyone to play their part and clean up our planet, 2 minutes at a time.

Our vision: To live in a world without litter and plastic pollution, where nature thrives.

Our mission: We encourage everyone to clean up the planet, 2 minutes at a time.

Together with our partners and 2 Minute community, our purpose is to provide the understanding, inspiration and tools to care for the places we live, love and visit. And it starts with simply picking up…

As a national charity, we rely on donations to do our vital work, educating people of all ages and inspiring individuals, communities and businesses to make planet positive changes.

With the growing climate crisis and pollution to our oceans, our work has become even more important.

Your support will be vital to help us continue:


Educating the younger generation

We offer full program of year round activities to suit everyone, young or old from our Bude Pod in Cornwall, We run daytime sessions, extra – curricular clubs and holiday pop ups.

We deliver bespoke sessions for schools, clubs and corporate groups, both virtually and in person.

Last year alone, we had over 2000 young people join us for our beach school, which are free to attend with only a voluntary donation from those who are able.

We know that education is key to combatting the climate crisis which is why our presence in schools and on the beach is so important. 


Social Action Campaigns

With an online community of over 80,000 individuals, we use our voice to change mindsets as a collective.

We believe that small simple changes have the biggest impact, which is why our campaigns are so important, to show just how easy it is for us to make simple swaps to have big impact.

We have seen huge success with our coffee cup challenge and our most recent campaign working with refill shops to encourage people to not only refill items, but support their local zero-waste stores.


Clean-up Stations

We have 1,400 of our clean-up stations located all around the United Kingdom

Our clean up Stations connect communities, act as beacons to stop littering and reduce litter in their area by 61%.

They raise awareness of litter and plastic pollution and give everyone the tools they need to clean up the planet, 2 minutes at a time.


Corporate days out and activations

We help businesses hit their ESG targets and by partnering with us, 7 OF THE UNs sustainability goals are addressed.
