Rapid Repair Network holds its inaugural Rapid Repair Rally to raise funds for Devon based charity the Estuary League of Friends
Look out for themed vehicles adventuring through the countryside this week! All for a great cause
Leading national mobile vehicle repair service provider, the Rapid Repair Network, is proud to launch its first ever annual charity event within the motor industry. The Rapid Repair Rally will be an unforgettable two-day adventure combining fun, friendly competition, and fundraising for a powerful cause.
On 2nd and 3rd October 2025, teams made up of leading lights from across the motor industry will set off in themed vehicles to enjoy a cross-country challenge through the rugged peaks of Wales, Shropshire hills, and into the heart of the Cotswolds. Teams will take on fun challenges, and engage the public along the way to raise awareness and raise more for our chosen cause.
This year, the Rapid Repair Rally is raising funds for a much loved Devon charity, the Estuary League of Friends, Estuary does incredible work to support vulnerable people across rural Exeter and East Devon. Participating teams are coming together to raise £3,500 for Estuary.
Estuary provides life-saving support to over 400 people each year – from elderly and disabled individuals to families living in poverty or facing illness. Estuary’s purpose-built community hub, Nancy Potter House in Topsham, is a lifeline offering everything from assisted transport and home help to cost-of-living support, social activities, and children’s services.
Every pound raised through the inaugural Rapid Repair Rally will go towards keeping these essential services running through the winter months.
Look out for the Rapid Repair Rally teams winding their way through Wales, Shropshire and the Cotswolds this week!

Robert Hawes, Manging Director and founder of Rapid Repair Network, says: “On behalf of everyone at Rapid Repair Network we are delighted to support the incredible work of the Estuary League of Friends, an organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life for people in their community. Their commitment to care, connection, and compassion aligns perfectly with our values, and we’re honoured to contribute to their mission.
“As I have family members that benefit from the amazing work they do, giving back to the Estuary League of Friends is really important, I have seen first-hand how they support the local community.
“Together, we can help make a meaningful difference.”
Rachel Gilpin, Chief Executive of Estuary League of Friends, says: “We are delighted to benefit from the Rapid Repair Network’s inaugural Rapid Repair Rally in 2025. The Rally promises to be a great adventure through some of the most scenic parts of the UK and it will raise much needed funds so we can provide vital care, comfort and support to all those in need in our Devon community.
“The Rapid Repair Network’s support couldn’t come at a better time. We are gearing up for the third winter of cost increases forcing more and more of the most vulnerable in our community to make impossible choices between heating and eating.
“Funds raised through the Rapid Repair Rally 2025 will be used to provide social activities, help with the rising cost-of-living, and practical support for vulnerable people wanting to live independently in their homes for longer.”
