A brilliant day visiting our partner @seashelltrust today 💙

We were lucky enough to get a full tour of Seashell Trust's brand-new facilities and college - and it's genuinely amazing to see. For anyone unfamiliar, Seashell is a charity supporting children and young people with complex needs, helping them live fuller, more independent lives.

After the tour, we sat down in their lovely new offices with Emma Wright and Marie Travers to talk through everything SEO, AI, PPC and website.

A huge thank you to the Seashell Trust team for having us. Here's to continued success together 🙌

It's Strictly Saturday time again and we have two more dancers to announce!

Harrison Broadley-Byrne and John Illingworth are our 5th and 6th dancers we've named, and they're both excited for Strictly Seashell 2026: A Night at the Musicals.

Harrison's parents run the popular restaurant LI~LY while John is a retired businessman. Both have relatively little dance experience, but what they lack in knowledge they're making up for with dedication to their dance lessons and bags of enthusiasm!

We were honoured to attend the @gmchamber Circularity in Practice initiative, inspired by His Majesty the King.

Our CEO Brandon was invited to share the work Seashell has done to embrace sustainability and outline our future commitments.

Brandon said: “It was an extraordinary honour to attend the Circularity in Practice initiative led by His Majesty the King.

"This initiative offered a valuable opportunity to share our commitment to sustainability and the ways we are already embedding re use, energy efficiency, and environmental responsibility across Seashell.”

It's Strictly Saturday and we're so excited to announce our host for this year's event is the FAB-U-LOUS Gethin Jones!

As a familiar face on BBC One’s Morning Live, Gethin is known and loved by viewers across the UK for his warmth, energy and ability to get everyone involved – making him the perfect host for Strictly Seashell: A Night at the Musicals on Saturday, 16th May.

Many will also remember him from reaching the semi-finals of Strictly Come Dancing and his time presenting It Takes Two, so he certainly knows his way around the ballroom! But it’s his passion for people and community that makes him such a fantastic fit for Seashell.

We’re especially grateful for Gethin’s continued support of Seashell over the years, having hosted our previous three Strictly Seashell events. We’re so excited to have him back with us for what promises to be an incredible night.

Thank you so much @GethincJones
