  1. Casual Friday with a Cause! RNLI Donation

    Leave a Comment

    A quick stroll to the seafront to showcase this month’s dress-down Friday charity, the incredible Teignmouth RNLI.

    As locals to the Teignbridge area, our staff fully support the incredible work of the RNLI and often see them in action, especially over the busy summer period.

    Thanks to all our staff who donated, and a few of our generous clients who offered to pop money in the donation tin when they saw who we were raising money for – amazing community spirit!

  2. Volunteering in Health – Dress Downs in February

    Leave a Comment

    Scott Richards are long-term supporters of Volunteering in Health (VIH), a local charity based at Teignmouth Hospital. Indeed, VIH were our chosen charity for our Centenary Ball held in 2022, where we raised over £5,000 for the cause.  The charity offers support to local people in all sorts of ways, including transport services, carer relief, home helpers, befrienders and so on. Their website really is worth a read, for a comprehensive list of the service they offer! Please click here.

    Recently, we had a catch up with the charity and asked how we could continue to support them, and they told us about their pantry at Dawlish Hospital. VIH offer transport services for people in the community who are unable to get to and from medical appointments. They explained that when they are picking up discharged patients from Dawlish Hospital, often the patients don’t have access to essential food and hygiene items at home, and sometimes, they have no clean, comfortable clothing either. VIH therefore stock a small pantry at Dawlish Hospital, from which staff can put together essential care packages for discharged patients. We thought this was a lovely and simple way to support this amazing local resource.

    During the month of February therefore, we held a dress-down day on each Friday, inviting staff to bring in one of the requested items below.

    As always, Team SR really stepped up to the challenge, and we are so proud of the amount of items we collected during February.

    Earlier this week, Operations Manager, Hayley-Jane Smithurst and IT Manager, Huw Weatherhead delivered the items to the Dawlish Hospital, and were able to speak with the VIH team. Cara Kinsey, Home from Hospital Link Worker explained that her role involves supporting patients during their stay in hospital, and identifying the areas where they may need support after discharge. She shared the importance of the pantry, both in ensuring patients have hygiene products available during their hospital stay, and in providing them essentials for when they go home. VIH were incredibly grateful for the items collected, and thanked Team SR for the generosity show – we were delighted to help!
