There are many things younger generations are more confident about than their elders, but practical skills are rarely one of them.

In response, the brand launched its innovative #DIYLegacy campaign to encourage us all to pass on skills to the young people around us.

In the mere months since this campaign kicked off, there’s already been exciting progress, and influencers partnering with HIPPO are sharing stories about the DIY skills their children have learnt, and the projects they’ve given a go so far.
