After seven years of grassroots environmental action, award-winning North Devon charity Plastic Free North Devon (PFND) is proud to announce its evolution into Earth Action North Devon (EAND).

Why the Change?

This transformation reflects the charity’s growth from a small, community-driven plastic reduction campaign into a fully-fledged environmental organisation tackling a broad range of sustainability challenges.

CEO Claire Moodie explains:

“The name ‘Earth Action North Devon’ better encapsulates the work we’ve been doing over the last couple of years and sets the tone for what’s to come. As we continue to tackle the climate, ecological, and intersectional environmental crises, we want a name that reflects our wider mission and supports our community to tackle the challenges ahead’’. 

Design a Bead Competition

This is where YOU come in!

We need your help to create a brand new charity bead for Earth Action North Devon!

You could win your designed bead in real life, plus a £60 Nalu Beads Gift Voucher!

Your design can be influenced by whatever you feel represents EAND the best. This can be anything from the colours and patterns inspired by North Devon's natural beauty to a design that depicts EAND's commitment to preserving our environment.

You have free creative reign but here are a few points to remember:

• Keep your designs simple
• Intricate shapes or text designs aren't possible to create in glass beads
• Try not to too many different colours

Please browse through our current bead collection to see what sort of designs are possible and if you have any questions please let us know by contacting us at hello@nalubeads.com

We can't wait to see what you create!
