How We Started
Hi, my name is Tina Robinson.
Before I founded Our Only World, I regularly fundraised with my local marine group to install a water refill station on our local beaches, Polzeath and Rock – you may have used them yourself!
This was a big success for me, but these stations were shipped over from America, adding a big carbon footprint and price tag. So, I knew a UK version had to be made!
Since launching the water refill project with my not-for-profit Our Only World, I have championed local designers, engineers and plumbers to help with my mission: to install refill stations across Cornwall and reduce plastic pollution.
We installed our very first station in Wadebridge in June 2022, and by the end of 2025 have installed over 20 stations around Cornwall, and more around the UK.
