Do Good
From sustainable seafood to a super green highway, read all about Carnaby’s charity and environment initiatives.
Sustainable Seafood Did you know that Britain exports approximately 80% of its crab to the rest of Europe and Asia? The people at CLAW Carnaby certainly do – with a mission to revalue British seafood. By taking out the middlemen, they deal directly with fishermen to bring the best possible crab and lobster from Salcome, trout from Hampshire and oysters from Colchester. Dive in! Buzzing for Bees’ Needs Welcome to the super green highway. Have you seen the 700 hanging baskets, window-box displays and planters whilst you’ve been out and about in Carnaby? As part of the Wild West End project, these nectar-rich flowers make Carnaby a paradise for pollinators. By supporting Bees’ Needs, which celebrates and protects London’s bee population throughout the year, Carnaby is increasing the access to food and shelter bees need to survive.

Be CALM at M.C. Overalls M.C. Overalls is no stranger to creative collaborations and doing good. The brand is partnered with the award-winning charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), a charity dedicated to preventing male suicide, the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK. In November 2017, music fans gathered in the Newburgh Quarter to celebrate Torch Songs, to hear stripped-back acoustic performances from the likes of The Boxer Rebellion, Gengahr, Isaac Gracie and Lewis Watson. Watch this space for more events in 2018. Green Apple Award Carnaby’s project to increase recycling and combat waste sent to landfill has been awarded a Green Apple Award. One of the successes was in food recycling; introduced in 2015, this went from 1% of total waste to 20% in 2017. Did you know that food waste can be used for energy production or to create bio-fertilisers?
