Revolver World is run as a not-for-profit organisation. We appreciate any and all donations we receive! If you love our work but would like to donate, please consider buying one of our hoodies or T-shirts from our Online Shop - or Donate with PayPal.
And we're all absolutely knackered. This is more of a check-in update to let people know we're all back, recovering slowly and getting used to running water again
HOWEVER, in the meantime, work continues - and soon we'll be publishing some of the lovely snaps and audio we collated over the weekend Also watch the store over the next couple of weeks as we begin to add some new products alongside popular favourites like Pants to Poverty underwear and Divine Chocolate next to our own apparel.
Greenbelt begins next week (27th-30th of August), and once again we'll be there as traders to showcase (and sell!) both our own and other companies' Fairtrade and Organic products. Aside from the music lineup (which is decidedly tasty this year, I'll be checking out Milton Jones on Sunday! -- Chris) there's a wide variety of talks on topics and many charities will also have large stands and campaigns running through the course of the weekend. We took delivery of our excellent new marquees today (provided by Instant Marquees) and they're going to help make our lives MUCH simpler this year. Last year we took two huge steel marquees and had to spend hours putting them up and then taking down after an exhausting weekend...
Aside from our humble contribution to the festival last year, Christian Aid also had a large presence (of whom we are an official merchandise licencee). Amongst their various campaigns and stands, they had a fascinating exhibit - Birmingham's Stan's Café's presentation of "Of All The People In All The World" - using grains of rice to demonstrate the inequities of living in the developed vs. developing world (a couple of photos here and a great video below:)
We took some photos of the show ourselves last year but were so busy we didn't get round to uploading them (now might be a good opportunity). We have no idea what will be on offer this year, but it's our intention to dabble in a bit of daily blogging - showcasing some of the best sounds, images and discoveries from the festival - or as much as we can when we're not manning our stand - we did such roaring trade last year it made it tough to find any time to do any exploring!
So, if you're coming (with 21,000 other people!) to this year's Greenbelt, feel free to drop by our stand and say hi! We'll have some special offers and we're even going to be selling academic books this year alongside our Fairtrade stuff - we're also launching our custom T-shirt and hoodie printing services this year (ideal if you're looking to sort some T-shirts for a stag or hen do). All of our staff will be there and happy to help or answer any of your questions. Ask us about the new range of Fairtrade coffees we're launching at the end of September!
As a Fairtrade company with the aim of empowering developing world producers, Revolver World has been looking to expand the range of Fairtrade products we supply. As coffee production largely sustains the livelihood of third world producers, Revolver World has decided that this is the next step to take in building our passion for Fairtrade.
Coffee is produced in over 40 different countries and by entering this industry; Revolver World will have the opportunity to impact the lives of the producing communities. As we embark on this mission we are guaranteed to stretch our tentacles and build on our core values as a non-for-profit organisation. Having looked into the Fairtrade market, we have noticed that coffee is the most popular commodity associated with Fairtrade and as a result of this; it would be a natural progression for Revolver World.
Revolver World will be sure to keep you updated on the launch of our Fairtrade certified coffee which should be hitting (and hopefully flying off) the shelves of the Co-op sometime in the near future so watch this space.
Clothing with a conscience from a little company with big ideas! Located in the West Midlands of the United Kingdom, Revolver World manufactures Fairtrade, Organic certified clothing plus much more. Read more about us.
