At Rockfish restaurants, we add an optional £1 to your bill to help make a positive impact in the communities we serve. These contributions support local initiatives, community fundraising events, and inspirational people doing great things. 
 
Discover how your £1 is making a real difference across Devon & Dorset: 

Devon Environment Foundation 
Co-founded by Mitch in 2020, the Devon Environment Foundation aims to protect and restore at least 30% of Devon’s land and water by 2030, supporting initiatives like rewilding, regenerative agriculture, and marine permaculture. 

Devon Young Fishers 
Based in Salcombe, this team is giving young people hands-on experience in sustainable fishing, mentoring them and opening doors for those who might not otherwise get the chance. 

Exeter Chiefs Foundation 
The Exeter Chiefs Foundation is a fundraising charity that exists with the sole aim of helping other charities. All the money they raise is donated to worthy causes in Exeter & the surrounding areas. They are committed to improving the prosperity & enhance the lives of the communities in and around Exeter, by making donations that make people’s lives better.  

Exmouth Beach Rescue Club 
Since 1986, volunteers have been keeping Exmouth beach safe, patrolling on Sundays and Bank Holidays, training young lifeguards from age 12, and supporting local events with first aid and rescue coverage. 

National Marine Aquarium 
Home to the Ocean Conservation Trust, the aquarium offers interactive ways to explore, learn about, and connect with the ocean, inspiring a love for marine life. 

Pride in Brixham 
Volunteers brighten up Brixham year-round-painting, planting, creating beautiful gardens, and maintaining public spaces - so locals and visitors can enjoy the town at its best. 

Royal Dart Youth Sailing Trust 
Since 2016, the trust has been helping young people get out on the water, supporting RDYC junior sailing and giving local kids the chance to try sailing who might not otherwise have the opportunity. 

Surfers Against Sewage 
A charity dedicated to keeping oceans and coastlines clean, protecting marine life, and campaigning for a healthier environment.

The Friends of Dolphin 
Provides free boat trips in Poole Harbour for disabled people, using the specially equipped “Dolphin III,” with all funds going directly to running and maintaining the service. 

The Wave Project 
Uses surfing to bring joy, confidence, and positivity to young people, especially those with disabilities or mental health challenges. A few hours on the water can make a huge difference. 

The Wind Project 
Offers free sailing lessons to local primary school children, many of whom have never been in the sea. The focus is on confidence, teamwork, and resilience in a safe, supportive environment. 

Till The Coast Is Clear 
A social enterprise tackling marine plastic pollution, led by Gary Jolliffe. His boat reaches remote spots other beach cleans can’t, and every piece of waste is either recycled or turned into energy. 

Torbay Youth Sailing Trust 
Since 2007, the trust has been giving children in Torbay access to sailing through affordable courses and equipment, helping them discover the joys of water-based activities. 

Weymouth & Portland Marine Litter Project 
A brilliant local initiative tackling marine and coastal litter. Their Recycling Hub turns beach plastics, broken toys, fishing gear, and nets into reusable materials, while community projects raise awareness and inspire action to keep waters free from plastic 

These are the organisations we are committed to supporting through your £1 donation. In addition, throughout the year we also receive requests from other local initiatives. Your contribution allows us to respond to these opportunities, helping to make a difference wherever it’s needed most. 

We're proud to support our local communities and are always open to hearing about small charities and projects making a direct impact. While we can’t support everyone, we’d love to hear your suggestions! Get in touch with maria@therockfish.co.uk.
