Here for you
This week’s Rowland Hill Fund Fundraising Week is a great time for colleagues to support our in-house charity.
The Rowland Hill Fund (RHF) helps colleagues, both past and present, who find themselves struggling financially. In 2017-2018, the Fund gave £500,000 to our people, helping them with utility bill arrears, medical expenses, disability aids, household items and more.
Issues such as these can affect all of us at any time in our lives. So, please get behind the Fund this week and help us smash our fundraising target of £40,000 to support colleagues in need.
Shan Lawrence, RHF communications manager, said: ‘I’m so proud of the work the charity does, helping our people when they need it most. But this can’t happen without the fantastic support of colleagues getting together to raise the vital funds we need for colleague grants.’
