Great Company That Gives Back

Great Company That Gives Back

I really like what Wild Ripple is doing! Their competitions are fun to take part in, and it’s great to know that a portion of their profits goes to charity. It feels good knowing that by entering, you’re also supporting a good cause.

Everything is easy to use, and their team is helpful if you have any questions. If you’re looking for a way to have fun and give back at the same time, I’d definitely recommend checking them out.

Great to be a winner

As a winner in the competition I can only say good things! It was great and professional experience and Kate made super extra effort to find me as I lost one letter in my email.

Nice company

I saw that they donated some profits to water charities and seemed like a good cause to buy tickets. They were very open about the competition so I would recommend as the odds were very good! It was nice to know my money contributed to a good cause, even though I didn't win.

Houseboats

I was searching for content about houseboats and came across this website, unfortunately I was unable to participate in the November draw.
In particular I like Wild Ripple's ethos of donating a % of ticket to water based charities.
The Wild Ripple site is easy to navigate and when I select the enter option there is a clear summary of the competition rules.
I shall definitely be entering the Dune camper draw this month, keep up the good works Wild Ripple.

I am usually quite unsure about entering such sites. But wildripple has put so much heart into this project. I've had the pleasure of seeing first hand the beautiful spaces Kate creates and the fact she wants to share this with others and help a hugely important cause at the same time, shows the depth of her heart.
Thank you wildripple.
Fingers crossed.

I won the fabulous Andora prize draw money!

I still cant believe I won this amazing competition, I was admittedly very skeptical when I first invested but I went for it just because I had a good feeling and I won the Andora prize draw!
Unfortunately, there weren’t enough tickets sold for me to have won the Andora, however, I still gained 50% of the profits. I won close to 9,000 and from the ticket I bought in the last hour of the competition too! I very rarely do anything lottery-like and only did this as I am looking to get myself a boat so I can move out and still be in touch with nature as opposed to a tiny dark flat. This money will really help me to make that a reality. I am really grateful to Kate and the Wild Ripple Team for being so friendly and helpful. We had a couple of hiccups but they were so reassuring and really good at keeping me informed. I think its a brilliant idea and I hope they drum up enough followers to one day be able to give the winner one of the stunning boats they have. The work they are doing giving 10% to a river charity is a beautiful homage to the home of so many boaters and is really important work. Thanks again Wild Ripple and good luck to all in the future!

Wild Ripple made the whole process easy and transparent - cannot understand the negative comments, but guess they are from competitors. Kate kept me informed throughout and was attentive and caring. What a great charity Wild Ripple work alongside.

Great ethos behind the competition

I didn’t win, but then there can only be one winner!!

At least some of the profit went to a great charity whoever won!

Thank you so much! Yes we are so happy that 10% of the profit went to River Action UK, and then got doubled in the Big Give! So the total ended up being £3556.42!

clear and transparent

Really appreciate how clear and transparent they are about the process of the draw so I knew exactly what would happen if they don’t reach a minimum ticket sale- the winner would get a share of tickets sold.

Kate and the Wild Ripple Team Aced It

I would like to leave a 5 star review for Kate and the Wild Ripple Team. I want to let everyone know that my postal entry was recognised in the latest competition and I received a confirmation email from Kate ahead of the draw. She was very good and communicated clearly with me. I had a fair and equal chance in the prize draw. I love the ethics and transparency of this company. I find them honest and trustworthy and I will continue to support them.

Didn't advise near closing that they wouldn't be able to award main prize whilst pushing last minute deals to encourage people to purchase more tickets. Only awarded £8k and not the £130k houseboat they advertised.

Hi again Rhiannon. Yes we advertised the prize draw to try to reach the minimum number of tickets for someone to win the prize. Instead of hiding the result we were very open with you and our customers about what the winner received. It is as we advertise. We say openly and clearly on our website and in our terms & conditions that if not enough tickets are sold to reach the minimum the winner will receive 50% of the profits, which we have honoured. Natasha our winner is delighted! River Action UK received £1,778.21 and the rest covered base costs. This was our first competition! We hope in the near future as we grow that the number of entries will increase. We are always grateful for people's support and suggestions to help us improve. Best wishes to you.

Where’s the rest of the money?

I’m a bit confused. The draw was not open due to sickness (?) and I received an email saying that the prize 130k boat hasn’t been awarded but some £8000 was won by someone. More than 6000 tickets were sold so where is the rest of the money? Why wasn’t the boat awarded - that was the draw about?Also there’s not a word on the whole story on the webpage. It only states that they have a winner. Is this a scam?

Hi Keira. We would prefer you to send us your questions via email to hello@wildripple.org before leaving a review like this to allow us a chance to answer your questions. The number of entries includes postal and promotions. Some money is spend on promoting and running the competition. We are very open on our website when you buy a ticket that if the minimum ticket sales are not met the winner will receive 50% of the profit. You will have seen this and will have ticked the box agreeing to this. What other parts of the story were you expecting? People entered, the winner was drawn using a random number generator and then announced at the close of the competition on our socials and website. It was wonderful to call Natasha on the night and we then shared a picture and quote of the winner once she was happy to provide this. The competition raised £1,778.21 for River Action UK which we are so happy with! We also then sent an email to all customers communicating everything. This was our first competition and we are grateful for everyone's entry, support and suggestions to improve for the future. Best wishes to you.

Scam

Prize draw in dark. Removing comments challenging the issue and blocking users for raising concerns.

Thanks for sharing your review. When people check these reviews they'll be able to see you are part of the same group of people commenting and encouraging 1 star reviews spreading incorrect information. Two have been found to be linked with a competitor. This is now being investigated. The Andora prize draw was completed inline with the terms & conditions and drawn using a random number generator which was recorded. We removed your attacking comments including asking other people to leave bad reviews for Wild Ripple. We wish you all the best.

A lovely Ethos and such Luxury Prizes.
Always looking for Van competitions, I stumbled across Wild Ripple with it's beautifully designed site and even more beautiful prizes.
It's early days for them, but so far so good and I have my fingers tightly crossed for winning the lovely Indigo_and_olive Van Dune!
One suggestion is to have the number of tickets available and a countdown, but realise for a new start up, you're learning as you go.
About to get another ticket with your "Double Up" offer.

Thanks so much for your review! We did actually have a countdown for Dune but it wasn't on the ticket buying page so we've adjusted this now so it's on both.

Yes we are learning as we go, thanks to suggestions and feedback like yours :)

All the best,

WildRipple offers something truly…

WildRipple offers something truly special—an opportunity for those who might not be able to afford their dream adventure vehicle, like campervans and conversion vans, to actually win one. It's more than just a competition; it's about helping people turn their dreams into reality, and that’s something truly meaningful.

Their team is incredibly genuine, with customer service that goes above and beyond—which is vital for any business! What makes them stand out even more is their commitment to the environment, giving part of their profits to protect and restore UK rivers, something no one else seems to be doing. Even if I never win, knowing my ticket supports such a great cause makes every entry worth it. Thank you, WildRipple, for making a real difference!
