Our partners
ImpacTex Textile Recycling
When clothing can’t be reused or repaired, we send it to our recycling partner and neighbour ImpacTex. They transform what would’ve been waste into raw material for a new life.
Together, we’ve diverted thousands of children’s items from landfill and extended the life of materials through smart, local recovery, staying true to our commitment to keeping clothing in use and out of landfill.
ImpacTex is a powerhouse of circular innovation. We’re so proud to stand alongside such an awesome team and trailblazers, who are redefining what’s possible with textile recovery.
Recycle A Device (RAD)
Digital equity matters. That’s why we’re proud to partner with RAD, a not-for-profit tackling the digital divide by repairing and redistributing laptops to rangatahi who need them most. RAD trains students to refurbish donated devices, building both tech skills and a culture of reuse.
Our role? Turning our textile waste into RePacks - a protective laptop sleeves made from recycled clothing, which now help safeguard those refurbished devices. It’s a small layer of protection that makes a big difference: keeping those devices safer, longer.
Together, we’re extending the life of both tech and textiles and helping ensure that every young person is equipped to thrive.
Women’s Refuge Tāmaki Makaurau
When clothing leaves our doors, it goes somewhere it’s truly needed. Women’s Refuge Tāmaki Makaurau supports wāhine and tamariki escaping domestic violence with care, compassion and safety and we’re honoured to support their mahi.
Our Gear Boxes provide practical essentials during the hardest moments, helping restore dignity and stability, one piece of clothing at a time. It’s an absolute privilege to contribute in even a small way to their powerful work.
Te Wāhi Whakaora Rotorua and District Women’s Refuge
Ripple provides Gear Boxes and loose items to Te Wāhi Whakaora Rotorua and District Women’s Refuge to support whānau as they rebuild their lives.
For children experiencing upheaval, clothing is more than just fabric, it offers warmth, comfort and a sense of normalcy during times of deep uncertainty. We hope to help tamariki feel safe, supported and seen.
We’re honoured to support the life-changing mahi of Te Wāhi Whakaora as they provide strength and shelter for whānau.
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre
Cholmondeley provides short-term care for children whose families are going through tough times and we’re proud to send Gear Boxes. We admire their holistic, child-centered approach and the wraparound support they offer tamariki across the South Island.
We also support
Through our ongoing partnerships, Ripple provides Gear Boxes to children supported by Starship Foundation, Middlemore Hospital Neonatal Unit and Oranga Tamariki. We’re proud to stand alongside these incredible organisations, ensuring children are met with essentials and a little extra love.
