𝗚𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗧𝗢 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬 🌿

On Thursday 28th May, a team of 11 Dowds volunteers enjoyed fantastic weather as they spent the day refreshing and replanting 12 patient patio areas at Northern Ireland Hospice in Belfast, helping to create welcoming outdoor spaces ready for the summer months.

The day was incredibly rewarding, and the positive feedback from the Hospice team highlighted just how much these improvements will mean to patients and their families. Creating comfortable, peaceful outdoor environments can make a real difference, providing spaces where patients and loved ones can spend valuable time together.

We are immensely proud of our colleagues who volunteered their time to support such an important local charity. Their enthusiasm, teamwork, and commitment to giving back reflect the values that are so important to our business.

A huge thank you to everyone involved, and to the team at Northern Ireland Hospice for the opportunity to contribute to the incredible work they do every day.

What better way to celebrate the rollout of our new HR system Rippling, than with a surprise weekend-away giveaway ✈️

Throughout April, we set a challenge on Rippling for our team with the chance to win a fully paid European city break.

Yesterday Rob Rees, our Head of People & Culture, travelled to our London office to surprise the winner in person alongside Shauna Burns from Identity Travel, who sponsored this fabulous prize!

A brilliant moment to capture, and even better to see the engagement and enthusiasm from teams across the business as we continue investing in smarter systems and better employee experiences.

Big thanks to everyone who took part and congratulations again to our winner 👏

𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗧𝗛 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 💚

This week at Dowds, we marked Mental Health Awareness Week with a series of events focused on connection, wellbeing, and supporting one another. 💚

From a morning hike up Slemish Mountain with some of our Northern Ireland colleagues, followed by breakfast together at Head Office in Ballymena, to our London team taking part in the Introba Fun Run in Holborn, it was great to see so many people getting involved and making time to connect outside of the day-to-day.

We also hosted a session focused on Mental Health Awareness, featuring special guest speaker Jo McAlister. Jo shared insightful guidance on rewiring the beliefs that hold us back and resetting burnout, anxiety, and self-doubt encouraging open conversations around mental wellbeing and personal growth.

To round off the week, we encouraged all staff whether on site or in the office to take a little extra time to connect over a cuppa. Sometimes the smallest conversations can make the biggest difference.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated throughout the week and helped make these events meaningful. Supporting mental health starts with creating space for openness, connection, and community not just this week, but every day.
