"Dirty Beach" fundraiser a great success

Sea Champion Hannah of "March of the Mermaids" joined forces with artists Lou McCurdy and Chloe Hanks earlier this week for the "Dirty Beach Party" in Brighton - an evening to highlight the perils of plastics in our seas and to raise funds for MCS.

Lou says: "It was a great atmosphere for a great cause, and we raised just under £200 for MCS. There were plenty of pirates, mermaids and sea loving folk who danced the night away. We were very appreciative and lucky to have eminent DJs, a fantastic pirate band, face painting, an upcycling craft stall, a pirate magician and an amazing burlesque star to compere it all! We celebrated the sea in style and look forward to more fundraising nautical shenanigans events in 2014!"

Big thank you from the MCS team - it sounds like it was truly a night to remember!
