AS OF [current-date|dd-mm-yy] REV COMPS HAS DONATED

We donate a portion of profits from each competition to charity.
We also take part in fundraising events, raising lumps of money for various charities and good causes close to our hearts.
Thanks to everyone for buying tickets and making these donations happen.

We raised and donated £25,000 to The National Autisic Society through Austin’s (staff member) Enthuse London Marathon page.

£25000 – National Autistic Society

We donated £1000 to CoppaFeel! through Rev Head, Oliva Dell’s Just Giving page.

“CoppaFeel! is a breast cancer awareness charity based in London focused on promoting early detection of breast cancer by encouraging women under 30 to regularly check their breasts.”

£1000 – CoppaFeel!

We donated £500 to a local company (Riviera Events) to fund replacing replacement battery and pads for their defibrillator, which is kept on hand at children’s events.

Our annual TOY DRIVE was another huge success thanks to you all playing our competitions.

Over £120,000 worth of gift packs were delivered to local schools this year.

43 schools around the Torbay/Newton Abbot areas requested help for families and thanks to the Rev Heads we delivered again.

2400 gift packs were handed out this year – each containing a £50 Entertainer Toy Shop gift card, a letter from Santa and a well wishing letter to the parents.

£50 for each child takes a big weight off of parent’s shoulders who otherwise would have struggled at Christmas.

The 100’s of thank you messages and emails we’ve received from parent’s makes it all worth while.

Without your help we wouldn’t be able to do this so thank you for playing and making our charity efforts possible.

Huge thanks to The Entertainer who stepped up again this year and gave us discount on the gift cards, meaning more children could be helped.

Thank you to Laura for organising everything so it was a seamless process on the day, ensuring every child received their gift packs.

A massive thank you to our suppliers who gave us prizes to raffle off to raise extra funds:

Simon from Gliddon Motorcycles – New Yamaha 125cc Scooter.

Jem – AJ Timepieces – donated a Rolex.

Steven Rooney – Rev Head – donated the Xbox X that he won.

Neil – Lens Orchard Logs – Donated a pallet of logs.

And thank you to all suppliers who donated prizes but specifically requested no mention.

Have a superb Christmas Rev Heads and thank you for taking part in our Toy Drive competitions and being here in general so we can do nice things like this.

£120000 – Toy Drive 2025

£200 – Southampton Hospitals Charity

We competed in a Go Kart League at Raceworld Exeter. All funds raised by the league went to Hospice Care Exeter – a hospice provider offering end of life palliative care for 1000s of patients every year.

We raised a whopping £61,006 through raffling Rev Comps credit and then a big £10,000 cash draw with 250 x runner up winners which brought in the bulk of this donation.

All proceeds from these draws went to this fundraiser.

Thank you to everyone who played these draws!

£61006 – Hospice Care

We’ve decided not to do fireworks this year due to various reasons.

Main one being we have no control over the amount of people who turn up once word gets out … it was hectic last year!

So instead of blowing up £1000s worth of fireworks …

We spent around £3000 last year on them …

We’ve donated £3000 to Animals in Distress UK instead!

£3000 – Animals In Distress

We gifted the Porsche back to the Hayes family ❤️

We invited Elly, Harley and Bayley Hayes (with David on FaceTime) for a cheque handover after our £100,000 fundraiser.

We raffled off their Porsche with all funds raised going to their Go Fund Me, set up after husband David had an accident on holiday (which they went on before wife Elly started breast cancer treatment) leaving him paralysed from the neck down 😞

Both kids were sad to see it go, with Harley being particularly upset when we picked it up 🥹

The winner took the cash alternative and the car was due to go off and be sold …

Instead … we gifted it back to the family and surprised them during this cheque hand over video ❤️

Life is full of surprises … this one was a much nicer surprise than what these guys have been through recently ☺️

David might not be able to drive it again but hopefully, one day he may be able to go for a ride 💪

Keep the hope alive David and best of luck on your road to recovery.

Thanks again to everyone who played and supported this draw ❤️

£100000 – David Hayes Fundraiser

We donated £5000 to The Archie Foundation who make a difference for local sick children in Scotland, providing much-needed extras not already catered for by the NHS.

Money is raised by raffling Rev Comps merchandise at checkout. All profits from those draws go into a pot and we do nice things with it when a good cause comes up.

Long time Rev Head, Jon Wood and family, visited us to say thanks for previous donations we’ve made to children’s causes in Scotland.

Jon and wife Anna turned up with their little boy who has an extremely rare metabolic condition – OTC Deficiency (Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency). Being one of only 20 boys of his age in the UK known to currently have this condition.

The Archie Foundation have provided much needed help and care to this family. When we met them and they told us their story we decided to donate the £5000 to help other families in Scotland.

£5000 – The Archie Foundation

We donated £10,000 to Children’s Week Torbay.

For 78 years Children’s Week has been a key event of the summer holidays in Paignton, a completely free week of entertainment for kids and families.

This year marked a fork in the road for the organisers who had key funding pulled at the last minute, resulting in them being unable to raise enough funds (at short notice) to put on the free week of activities on Paignton Green.

We were tagged in a post asking for help from local businesses so we stepped in and covered the £10,000 short fall so Children’s Week could continue this year and provide parents with much needed children’s entertainment (without the summer holiday price tag!)

Well done to Dave and all the organisers who give up there time to organise and put on this event!

We’ll be supporting them next year as well 🙂

£10000 – Children’s Week Torbay

We raised £25,000 by raffling a £5000 TUI holiday voucher.

All funds raised (£25,000) was donated to a long term Rev Head, John Leonard, who is fighting a rare form of cancer.

The money is being used to fund further life extending treatment for John.

A customer was having trouble with an order and tickets not being received, after back and forth emails with the team it was passed on to me to resolve so I gave him a call.

I’m chatting away to him, sorting his problem and all was well – happy customer.

During that call he mentioned he was undergoing cancer treatment for a rare form of skin cancer, Merkel Cell Carcinoma.

John told me the NHS has very limited funding for treatment of this type of cancer.

After being diagnosed in 2023, John and family started the battle of their lives with surgery and difficult radiotherapy sessions aimed at extending his life.

With a daughter and young grandkids to grow old with he doesn’t want to give up the battle and has tried all he can to pay for alternative treatments not available on the NHS.

He told me he’d already raised around £12,000 from his Go Fund Me efforts alongside selling possessions, spending savings and re-mortgaging his house.

Having gone through cancer with my mum, who we sadly lost to glioblastoma brain cancer last year, and feeling helpless because we couldn’t do anything other than support her whilst watching fade away slowly …

I decided on that phone call that we’d do something to help John.

I thought we can at least raise some of the extra cash needed to fund further rounds of Dentric Stem Cell replacement therapy in Birmingham which has already had a positive effect and aims to extend John’s life much further than current treatments available on the NHS. Statistically proven to be far more effective at extending lives or even (in some cases) curing MCC completely.

Blown away by the offer to help, he asked – “Hi again Robbie, may I ask you why me!? Please do not get me wrong as, as a very humble and older guy I truly appreciate your thoughtful and kind offer of support and whilst I am also aware that your Mum passed away from cancer last year I cannot help but wonder … why me!?”

We built Rev Comps as a platform for people to win stuff and from day one we’ve factored in doing good with charity donations and fundraisers for good causes.

This draw could change this guy’s life and outlook for his young family growing up without a dad/grandad.

Meryl Blackbourn from Skegness won the £5000 TUI voucher.

All of the proceeds – £25,000 from this draw went to John’s further treatment and help a Rev Head in need. 

Rev Comps paid for all card fees and the £5000 TUI voucher. Nothing was deducted. 

You can read all about John Leonard’s story on his Go Fund Me page here.

£25000 – Help a Rev Head

This years TOY DRIVE was a huge success ❤️

Throughout November and early December we started fundraising for our yearly Toy Drive.

This year we raised in excess of £170,000 by raffling off prizes we purchased or that were donated and through our Rev Comps credit charity draws.

Several cash donations from suppliers/winners/Rev Heads went into the pot as well.

Months of working with the local authorities and schools led to a list of over 2100 children/families most in need.

❤️ We’ve had head teachers break down on the phone, tears in person and countless messages from thankful parents who’ve been in touch to say this has made their Christmas at a time when Christmas would have been very difficult.

😮 40+ schools across Torbay and Newton Abbot received their share of gift bags on Thursday … we distributed 2101 with a few left over just in case of any emergency requirements!

✅ £60 The Entertainer toy shop voucher

✅ Letter to the parents from Rev Comps/Rev Aid

✅ Tape and wrapping paper (paper separately)

We’re working out the exact total we’ve spent so far, any remaining funds will go to local good causes in the following weeks 💪

Huge thanks to everyone involved and all those who helped pack and deliver the gift bags.

A couple special mentions and thank you’s:

🎅 Laura (the collapsed elf bottom left) for taking charge of the organisation over the past few months and delivering an incredibly smooth plan for packing and deliveries.
