What a magical time at Down The Rabbit Hole! 🐰 This weekend we moved from behind the scenes to main stage alongside the rockstars of Patagonia crew. Taking repairs from the crowd to life and making people grateful fixing their gear on spot. We competed an impressive number of repairs on a festival filled with music, art, and wonder. The community spirit was truly inspiring and the myth is true: Repair is the New cool. Meeting so many enthusiastic people who share our passion for repair and circularity was a powerful reminder that we are all part of a larger movement. Huge thanks to everyone who joined us, especially Patagonia for their invaluable collaboration and support. Together, we’re creating a brighter, more sustainable future! Stay tuned for more events and initiatives from United Repair Centre. #RabbitFest #DTRH24 #repairrevolution #repairisthenewcool #circulareconomy

We had an incredible time at the Outdoor Trade Show (OTS) in Liverpool! 🏕 The event was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our commitment to circularity through repair in the outdoor industry and connect with some of the best brands and retailers in the UK! ✨ The Sustainability Breakfast highlighted key progress towards NetZero 2030. Industry leaders, including our COO & Co-founder Paul Kerssens and Richard Pyne from Páramo Directional Clothing, shared valuable insights on collaboration and sustainability. Our repair stand was a hit, offering FREE repairs to attendees' outdoor clothing. It was great to see so many people embracing repair as a way to extend the life of their gear and support sustainability. We even did multiple repairs for mountain man legend Alan Hinkes OBE! 🧗♂️ 🏔 We received wonderful feedback and had meaningful discussions on legislation, packaging, traceability, and more. A big thank you to all our partners and collaborators for making this event a success. We look forward to keep on making an impact together! #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #OutdoorIndustry #RepairRevolution #OTS2024
