🌟 Yesterday, we had the privilege of visiting Professor Adam Greenstein and his exceptional team of scientists at The University of Manchester. They shared inspiring updates on their ground breaking journey to develop a treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease and Vascular Dementia, and we were even given a tour of the lab where the real magic happens! Thanks to the support of the Regatta Foundation, their research has reached incredible new heights. This funding has allowed the team to dive deeper, head overseas to collaborate with global experts, and bring invaluable knowledge back to Manchester. We’re thrilled to see their work progressing to the next stage in partnership with a drug discovery team. A huge congratulations to Pr. Greenstein and his fellow lead researcher, Dr. Harry Pritchard, who were recently honoured with a British Heart Foundation Hero Award for their pioneering vascular dementia research. Their studies have uncovered a potential new approach to addressing the vascular causes of dementia, a significant step forward in this critical field.👏 #Research #DementiaAwareness #RegattaFoundation #InnovationInScience #ManchesterUniversity #UoM

🎄✨ Spreading Holiday Cheer with Mission Christmas! ✨🎄 This festive season, we are proud to continue our volunteering work with Mission Christmas – an initiative that ensures Santa reaches every child in need on Christmas Day. A few of the team members recently spent the day in Mission Christmas HQ in Manchester, helping to sort and pack gifts for families who will truly appreciate them. We were also proud to donate some clothing and accessories, as well as the annual collection point at Regatta HQ where colleagues can donate gifts. We are delighted to be able to contribute to such a worthwhile organisation and make a meaningful impact on so many families during the holidays. #MissionChristmas #RegattaGreatOutdoors #CommunitySupport #VolunteerWork #FestiveSeason #GivingBack

A festive afternoon was had by all in the Campsite for Regatta's annual Quiz-mas yesterday. Mulled wine and hot Vimto was flowing, wishes were written on tags for the Christmas tree decorating and teams taking part in the Christmas quiz. Basecamp is ready for the festivities to begin🎄

📢 We’re excited to announce the launch of our TV advert as part of the AW24 campaign, “When Warmth Matters, Think Regatta.” This is an exciting step for the brand as we trial TV advertising to reach targeted homes across the Northwest via Sky AdSmart technology. The advert highlights the warmth, quality, and protection our products offer, while capturing the special outdoor moments spent with friends and family. The campaign goes beyond TV, supported by outdoor advertising, digital, social, retail, and influencer activations. We're looking forward to seeing the impact of this omnichannel campaign. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to bringing this campaign to life 👏  #WhenWarmthMatters #TVCampaign #SkyAdSmart #RegattaGreatOutdoors #AW24 

On World Suicide Prevention Day our Mental Health First Aiders re-introduced themselves to colleagues across the business and let them know that they are there to talk. With plenty of biscuits and a hot brew - we encourage everyone to start the conversation. Here is Karen from our Sales Support team, she has her brew ready and this is what she had to say on being a Mental Health First Aider. "I signed up for the Mental Health First Aid team not longer after I joined Regatta. I do think that talking about about how we are feeling and breaking down the stigma around mental health is so very important - the more we talk about things the less overwhelming they can become. The MHFA team have regular meetings to come up with ideas to remind people that we are here if they need a brew and / or a chat."

Last month, we had the pleasure of welcoming Oly Newton, founder of Lights On Wellbeing and the Run4YourMind Foundation , to our head office to discuss the crucial topic of mental health. Having fought his own battles with mental health, Oly discovered that running 'saved his life.' Through his speaking engagements and activism, he aims to break down the stigma surrounding mental health and inspire others to take control of their own wellbeing. From destigmatising OCD to addressing internal and external stresses, Oly candidly shared his journey with our team, inspiring us all. We left the session feeling empowered to continue the conversation about mental health in our workplace.  

As part of our goal to spotlight and learn more about the amazing people within the outdoor community, we had the pleasure of spending time with the remarkable women from ProjectCold, a community of cold-water swimmers making waves in the great outdoors. 🫶 Watch as we dive deeper into their world. 🏊♀️

🌟 Event Recap: Regatta x Girls Who Walk Manchester 🌟 On Sunday, Regatta was excited to sponsor Girls Who Walk Manchester's weekly walk. The event saw 50 participants join us, wearing co-branded t-shirts as we got our 10,000 steps in through the vibrant streets of Manchester. Girls Who Walk is a fantastic volunteer-led, not-for-profit organisation that hosts Sunday walks, providing a welcoming space to get outside, stay active, and forge new friendships. Though it started in Manchester, the initiative has quickly spread to cities and towns nationwide, demonstrating the power and appeal of this community-driven movement. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and a special shout-out to Girls Who Walk Manchester for their incredible work. Here's to more steps, getting outdoors and stronger communities! 🚶♀️💪 #Regatta #GirlsWhoWalkManchester #Community #Empowerment #10KSteps #Manchester #MakingFriends #GetActive #GetYourStepsIn
