Turn the Tide 2025 returned this time to Warren Farm. They hosted workshops, stalls, youth creativity and the unveiling of Dawlish’s new Uncertain Tides sculpture.
In 2025, Turn the Tide ran a marine conservation poetry trail across Dawlish, showcasing 27 poems in local windows – with prizes awarded to the winning entries.
In 2024, Our Green Futures launched with Sustainable Dawlish, offering funding and support for local groups tackling climate and wildlife challenges.
Turn the Tide hosted two fundraising evenings at the Shaftesbury Theatre, combining films, talks, and music on climate, water quality and marine wildlife.
