Ramsdens Financial Limited

Last Friday, festive spirit was in full flow at Ramsdens with colleagues donning their best Christmas jumpers in aid of Save the Children UK. In total, we donated £1000 to the charity, who help those in need at this special time of year. A big thank you to everyone who participated and donated to such an amazing cause. #ChristmasJumperDay #SaveTheChildren #FestiveFundraising

This Christmas our Head Office teams are giving something back to the local community. We are supporting the CAUSE-Foundation.org.uk Christmas Hamper Campaign and have collected non-perishable food items, essential cleaning supplies, toiletries and Christmas gifts to create a hamper for a family of 7 who are in genuine financial hardship. Each year the Cause-Foundation do incredible work to support those in the Teesside area who are facing a bleak Christmas, their ethos is: "to offer an act of kindness and love to those families and individuals who need it most."

Our Grantham branch is proud to support Pancreatic Cancer UK through our loose coin scheme. Branch Manager, Luke and his dedicated team (pictured) look forward to welcoming you.

Last week our Leadership team came together at Hardwick Hall Hotel to celebrate our FY24 achievements.   Aptly named ‘Celebrate Day’, colleagues gathered to discuss our successes in interactive, fun and engaging sessions, whilst setting out our strategy and aims for the new financial year ahead.   Many thanks to Ivan Hollingsworth, our guest speaker who delivered a thought-provoking session on how to help teams and organisations like Ramsdens thrive.   Thank you to everyone who attended, wore pink for Breast Cancer Now and contributed to the day and towards the future success of our business.

Last Friday our Head Office and retail teams wore pink to raise vital funds for Breast Cancer Now, who aim to change the lives of people affected by breast cancer, by combining the power of research and vital support. A big thank you to everyone who participated and donated to such an amazing cause. #wearitpink #breastcancerawareness #breastcancernow
