RHF Awareness Week
This week is Rowland Hill Fund (RHF) Awareness Week - an opportunity for colleagues to support our in-house charity.
The initiative is a chance for you to help raise awareness of the fund and its important work supporting our people.
The RHF helps colleagues both past and present when they find themselves struggling financially. In 2017-2018, the fund gave £500,000 to our people, helping them with council tax arrears, medical expenses, disability aids, funeral expenses, household items and more - issues that can affect any of us at some point in our lives.
RHF communications manager Shan Lawrence, said: ‘The RHF is an important resource for our people and your support has an important role to play in letting colleagues know we are here and that we can help.
‘A recent beneficiary told us “you have completely changed our lives by providing a walker for my son. He is now able to have some independence at home and at school and not let his disability restrict him”.
