Another Year of Changing Lives and Making Waves

3 minute read

As we close the chapter on 2025, it is time to look back at what we have achieved together through the Dryrobe® Warmth Project.

This year hasn’t just been about numbers; it’s been about the real people, families, and communities we’ve supported during times when the simple comfort of warmth felt out of reach.

Thanks to your incredible generosity and the dedication of our community, 2025 has officially become our most impactful year to date.

At Dryrobe®, we are committed to strengthening the economic and social well-being of our communities. Our focus on civic engagement and giving drives everything we do, and we take a hands-on approach to making a real difference. Here’s how we contribute through our Warmth Project:

Donating essential kit to shoreline communities, breaking down barriers and ensuring more people can safely and comfortably access the water.
Supporting a wide range of community projects, both locally and globally, from grassroots initiatives to larger-scale efforts that align with our values.
Building long-term partnerships with charitable organisations, working closely to create lasting positive change.
Providing our staff with two fully paid volunteer days a year allows them to dedicate time to causes that matter to them and have a meaningful impact. Our team has visited animal rescue centres, restored wildlife hotspots

Fueling the Mission

This year, the stoke was high, and the support was even higher. We are proud to announce that a massive £177k was donated, working towards an open and accessible outdoors for all.

As a certified B Corp™, our pledge extends beyond a financial commitment to impact. The Dryrobe® staff turned volunteers put in the work, clocking over 550 hours of hands-on volunteering in our local communities and beyond, from ecosystem conservation to adaptive surf comps.

In 2025, we took things to a whole new level by repurposing and donating over 800 products.

To put that into perspective: that’s nearly 50% of the total number of products we donated in the previous three years combined.

In partnership with our amazing non-profit organisations, we impacted and changed over 1,700 lives.

The Adventure Continues

After wrapping up an epic 2025, we’re already looking toward the horizon. The momentum we’ve built together is a game-changer, and we’re just getting started. You’ve made 2025 a year to remember. Let’s carry that fire into 2026.
