Crisp Packet Dolphin Returns Home Thanks to Huge Llandrindod Wells Community Effort
A unique and eye-catching environmental project has completed its journey, thanks to the efforts of children from a Llandrindod Wells school, parents, and a dedicated transport team.
The well-known Crisp Packet Dolphin, borrowed from the British Ironwork Centre in Oswestry, has now been safely sent back to its original location with the help of James Thompson from Powys County Council and his team.
The dolphin, which had been on display at Ysgol Trefonnen in Llandrindod Wells, was used to collect recycled crisp packets and was designed to highlight the impact of plastic waste on our oceans.
As part of a nationwide sustainability initiative, the project encourages schools and communities to engage in environmental discussions and take action against plastic pollution.
Children and parents played a key role in supporting the display and their involvement helped turn waste into a meaningful symbol of change.
Spokesperson for the school, family liaison officer Jen Craven said: "We are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed to this project and to James Thompson and his team for their help in transporting the dolphin.
“It has been a fantastic way to engage young people in important environmental discussions and to show how small actions can make a big difference.
"Though the Crisp Packet Dolphin has now moved on, the message it carries remains—together, we can all do our part to protect the planet."
