GIVING BACK

We’re committed to giving back to the communities that we’re lucky enough to be a part of, whether that’s the broad community of people who love the outside, people who need support or the local areas where we have our stores. Ultimately we want to help more people Go Nice Places Do Good Things.

WHAT WE’RE PROUD OF

1. £200,000 Alpkit Foundation donations and 575 awards

2. 1000 people at Alpkit’s Big Shakeoutour not-for-profit outdoor festival

3. Over 3000 people went on Alpkit courses and events - happy adventures!

4. Community events at stores every week, ranging from yoga nights and film nights to gear exchanges and talks

5. We work with local schools and colleges to provide industry experience

ALPKIT FOUNDATION: HELPING PEOPLE GO NICE PLACES DO GOOD THINGS

Spending time outdoors is good for the mind, body and soul. But generally people are spending less time outdoors. That is a problem we’re helping to tackle. 1% of Alpkit sales go to individuals and direct-action projects. From ti-spoons to titanium tandems, every penny adds up to a huge amount – more than £200,000 so far.

We support ordinary people doing extraordinary things to make the world a better place.We’re incredibly proud that the Foundation has now been involved in over 600 projects. That’s over 10,000 people that have directly benefited from the support that Alpkit customers have given through the Foundation.

This Year We Will

1. Alpkit Foundation will donate £80,000 to projects in the next 12 months

2. Biggest and best Big Shakeout ever

3. Introduce Staff Charity Giving Scheme

4. Get to know our local communities even better

It’s humbling to see the effect that these small steps can make to so many people. Our hope is that everyone gets the chance to Go Nice Places and Do Good Things just sometimes. The Foundation is a thank you from us to all our customers as we know we would not be here without you.
