Christmas Card For Good
SeaKisses
This festive season at SeaKisses you can find a very special Christmas Card that not only brings with it Cornish cheer and good tidings, but also helps to fund a small project with big plans to improve our oceans for future generations. Every single penny from the sale of these cards will go to Dive Project Cornwall, a team of determined people working towards eliminating plastic pollution, a cause close to anyone with a love for Cornwall and the coast that we treasure so dearly. With a little help this Christmas we’ll be ever closer to a plastic-free ocean.
