Meet UP by GOGO, our team of environmental, circular economy warriors, kitted out with compassion, biceps, labels and boxes and dedicated to ensuring your move from one home to another is peaceful, timely, honours you and your possessions and ensures nothing goes to waste. Anything you no longer need is gifted, rehomed, upcycled or recycled. We care for you, for your possessions and for the environment.
We understand the emotional toll of sorting through a lifetime of memories and we are here to support you to ensure moving is un UPlifting experience for you, and for the planet.
Your move is also creating safe, sustainable and fulfilling jobs for people who may have had challenges entering the workforce. Help us run a successful trial in November, contribute to our crowdfunding campaign today.

OUR STORY
Early 2022, our social enterprise GOGO events reduced its event stock from 20 warehouse storage bays to zero. That was around 800 cubic metres of gear we moved on. At the end of this process we placed one small shopping bag of rubbish into the blue bin. That’s it. One bag! All our stock was repurposed, rehomed, upcycled or recycled - all back into the circular economy.
GOGO has always repurposed, we buy repurposed, we procure from social businesses and community stores and we always donate back whatever is leftover. We have been experts in repurposing for a long time, with a demonstrated history of circular economy care. Why not help others with that? And that is how UP by GOGO was born!
