In 2024 FatFace dedicated 6 store windows across the South Coast to incredible ocean themed, Marine Conservation Society inspired displays. Talented crew members spent many weeks crafting unique windows for the launch of the stunning FatFace x MCS collection.
Made from fully recycled materials, the Foundation store was thrilled to take part and we are seriously proud of the final exhibit which can be found on the first floor of the Meridian Shopping Centre above the shop. We also used things found around the shop such as textile scraps, safety pins (for the fishing net… this took weeks!) and even a real fishing net from Brixham Harbour, donated to the window by the Ocean Recovery Project.
The FatFace Foundation has supported MCS since our inception in 2009 with our objectives to protect the planet whilst also helping communities understand and embrace the impact they can have on our wild spaces being in perfect alignment.
More recently, 2021 saw the FatFace Foundation donating £15,000 to support MCS on their Beachwatch appeal, a fundraising effort run by Radio 4. The appeal raised funds to help care for the UK coastline and to collect meaningful data to make positive changes towards protecting the ocean. This work has led to some big impact changes including bans on single use plastic, improved messaging on wet wipe packaging and carrier bag charges to name a few.
As FatFace is a South Coast brand, the FatFace Foundation has always been passionate about protecting the ocean and its inhabitants. One of our biggest partners on this journey has been the Marine Conservation Society (MCS). Over the last few years FatFace has collaborated with them to produce several amazing product ranges celebrating the ocean and bringing it to life through their product and contributing a portion of their sales to MCS in the process. For the last few years, FatFace has partnered with the Marine Conservation Society on an exclusive collection inspired by the ocean. Supporting the incredible efforts of the Marine Conservation Society and its ground breaking Citizen Science projects, with 10% of the sale of items in these collections being donated directly to the cause.
