🎉 Exciting news for a Friday - we're delighted to announce the 10 fashion and textiles businesses that have received funding from our ReWear grant programme! Each of the selected businesses is a London-based circular start-up or early-stage business that is pioneering a repair, resale and/or rental solution for textiles that helps reduce the need for making new clothes. We're supporting them to help grow and expand their operations and amplify their impact, while playing a key role in promoting circularity within London’s fashion ecosystem. The 10 businesses are: 1. The Seam 2. Vamp Sneaker Cleaning 3. SOJO 4. Verte 5. Give Your Best 6. Tern Eco 7. Known Source 8. Continue 9. KIRAA 10. Bundlee The ReWear cohort had the opportunity to meet each other in person at a kick-off event this week, hosted at our offices. It was great to meet everyone in person, and there were a lot of exciting conversations happening. We’re looking forward to seeing the impact all their activities have in London over the next few months! These grants are made possible thanks to funding from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and supported by the Mayor of London.
