Dimensions Supports Rowland Hill Fund Charity Cycle Ride

Written by Dimensions | 7/11/17 8:00 AM

At Dimensions, supporting our customers goes beyond supplying high-quality uniforms. We are proud to work alongside organisations that make a positive difference to the lives of their employees and communities.

One such partnership saw us support the Rowland Hill Fund during its nationwide charity cycle ride, helping participants raise funds for colleagues and former employees of the Royal Mail Group experiencing financial hardship.

 
About the Rowland Hill Fund

Established in 1882, the Rowland Hill Fund provides financial assistance to current and retired Royal Mail Group employees facing unexpected financial difficulties.

The charity supports people through a wide range of circumstances, helping with essential living costs such as:

  • Mortgage or rent payments
  • Household essentials
  • Emergency financial support
  • Other unforeseen expenses

More than a century after it was founded, the charity continues to provide vital support for those who need it most.

 
Supporting a nationwide fundraising challenge

To raise awareness and generate valuable funds, the Rowland Hill Fund invited Royal Mail colleagues from across the UK to organise local charity cycle rides.

Teams took part in routes of varying distances, with colleagues cycling everywhere from local community rides to longer endurance challenges.

One of the first groups to complete the event undertook a 50-mile circular ride between Chesterfield and Sheffield, proudly wearing specially produced event cycle vests.

 
Helping participants perform at their best

Working alongside fellow Royal Mail supplier Briggs Equipment, Dimensions supplied 150 high-quality cycling vests for participants taking part across the country.

Providing comfortable, practical apparel helped create a professional identity for the event while ensuring cyclists could focus on enjoying the challenge and raising as much money as possible for the charity.

 
Supporting our customers beyond uniform

We believe strong partnerships are built on more than products alone.

Supporting customer fundraising initiatives, employee wellbeing programmes and community projects is an important part of how we work with organisations across a wide range of sectors.

By contributing to events like the Rowland Hill Fund cycle ride, we're proud to help customers extend the positive impact they have on their employees and wider communities.

 
Working together to make a difference

Successful charity events rely on collaboration, and this initiative demonstrated how customers, suppliers and employees can come together to support an important cause.

We're delighted to have played a small role in helping the Rowland Hill Fund's fundraising efforts and congratulate everyone who took part in the challenge. Their commitment continues to help provide valuable support for Royal Mail colleagues and pensioners when they need it most.
