“We would like to thank Event Cycle for their remarkable work and unwavering commitment to sustainability. At Quadrant Events, sustainability is a core value, and we are proud to partner with Event Cycle in repurposing our graphics. Their dedication to donating these materials to organisations, who are making life-changing differences aligns perfectly with our values. Together, we are making a positive impact and driving change towards a sustainable future.”
– The Quadrant Team
We pride ourselves on being the leading service-focused, complete creative solution for events. From AV hire, set design, and end-to-end event management to seamless technical delivery, staging and video production. Delivering such a wide portfolio of events, understandably, we are often left with materials after projects have been and gone.
Whilst trying to discourage any excess in the first place, where re-use is not possible, we are dedicated to supporting our clients to follow Sustainable events practice in recycling. We also allocate an annual budget to sustainable practice which supports meaningful initiatives that make positive change like Event Cycle.
A portion of this has been distributed to graphics and we work with Event Cycle to repurpose the stretch fabric after events to ensure it has a longer life and a social purpose.
We are passionate about people, sustainability and equality and in recent months with Event Cycle, we have supported and helped four life-changing organisations that share these values.
The GINA Project CIC provide immediate specialist counselling and bespoke products and resources for individuals subjected to sexual violence and abuse. Distinct from traditional charities that offer essential services, GINA offers a unique approach by collaborating with survivors in crafting resources, products, and events. At the core of GINA’s mission lies the unwavering belief that, with compassionate support and empowering opportunities, every individual can transcend mere survival and find true thriving after trauma.
We donated graphics that will be used as backdrops and table covers for their community events and stalls, used to fundraise for their cause.
The second organisation to make use of the graphics was Academic Mentoring. Academic Mentoring provides education, mental health support, debt relief, workshops, courses and community activities to help educational organisations, schools and charities. The fabric they received will be used as outdoor partitions so that children can play in seclusion and within their hall to ensure the space looks more like a sports hall.
Not too dissimilar with their choice of repurposing the material, Hoofprints Miniature Haven are using the stretch fabric to surround their miniature horse enclosures both at their home/stables and when they are taken out to shows and encounters to make a more pleasant environment and experience for the horses and the visitors. Hoofprints focus on animal rescue and rehabilitation as well as rehoming and horticulture education. Alongside this they also offer recreation and countryside activities. The core purpose of their work is driven by the understanding that animals require a safe-haven, and they are dedicated to offering education and therapy in support of this cause.
And last but not least, Little A.R.K. are a community project focused on providing work for those that find it difficult to access it, using surplus fabric that would have gone to waste in creative ways and supporting projects in the local area including producing 30,000 scrub caps during the pandemic and creating art installations.
Little A.R.K. will be using their portion of the donated graphics on a project in association with local hospices to create tote bags for relatives to take their loved one’s items home with them once they’ve passed. Currently, families are given belongings in bin bags or plastic carrier bags and Little A.R.K. want to change that to make sure the families are treated with the utmost respect during such challenging times.
Our mission is to use our dedication to sustainability to not only benefit our clients but also extend a helping hand to those in need, highlighting the power of repurposing for a brighter future!
