F.Hinds has raised over £15,000 for Dementia UK following a two-month fundraising campaign involving colleagues and customers across its UK stores and Head Office.

Running throughout May and June, the initiative formed part of the jeweller's ongoing commitment to charitable giving and community engagement, bringing together teams across the business to support Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity. The campaign raised both vital funds and awareness to help support families affected by dementia.

A standout moment within the campaign was F.Hinds' participation in National Ear Piercing Day, delivered in partnership with leading ear-piercing specialist Studex. To mark the occasion, F.Hinds donated £1 to Dementia UK for every ear piercing carried out in store, linking one of its most popular customer services with a fundraising initiative that resonated strongly with customers and colleagues alike.

The National Ear Piercing Day activity highlighted the strength of the long-standing relationship between F.Hinds and Studex, while demonstrating how retail partnerships can be used to generate meaningful support for charitable causes.

Although the campaign has officially concluded, F.Hinds will continue to accept donations in stores until 30 September 2026, providing customers with further opportunities to contribute to the charity.

Andrew Hinds, Chairman of F.Hinds, said:

"We are incredibly proud to have raised over £15,000 for Dementia UK and would like to thank our customers and colleagues for their fantastic support. Our National Ear Piercing Day initiative with Studex was a wonderful example of how we can combine a popular customer experience with charitable fundraising, and the response exceeded our expectations. Dementia UK provides invaluable support to families across the country, and we're delighted to contribute to their important work."

Joanna Sullivan, Deputy Director of Fundraising at Dementia UK, said:

"We're grateful to F.Hinds and Studex for raising an impressive sum for Dementia UK. By bringing together colleagues and customers with this initiative they will help us reach people affected by dementia through our dementia specialist Admiral Nurses. The whole team at F.Hinds has impressed us throughout the partnership, and we thank them for helping us reach more people with practical and emotional support for dementia, at any stage of the condition."

The success of the campaign reflects F.Hinds' wider commitment to supporting charitable causes and engaging customers through initiatives that create a positive impact beyond the jewellery sector.

Looking ahead, F.Hinds will continue its fundraising efforts later this year with the return of its annual campaign in support of BBC Children in Need, launching in October.

Furniture Village has been awarded a top 5 place in the ‘UK’s Best Large Companies to

Work For’ category.

Britain’s largest independent furniture retailer, Furniture Village, is proud to announce a total of three award wins at The Best Companies Awards 2023, including #4 in the ‘UK’s Best Large Companies to Work For.’ The ceremony was a black-tie event held in Battersea, London, on 2nd November 2023.

Furniture Village also won the ‘Best Companies Special Award’ as the ‘Best Improver 2023’ and #1 in the ‘South West’s Best Company to Work For’ category.

Last month, the family business received a 3-star accreditation in the Best Companies survey, a rating which reflects ‘world class’ levels of workplace engagement. When surveyed, 91% of Furniture Village employees agreed with the statement, ‘I love working for this organisation’ and 93% of those surveyed agreed with the statement ‘I am inspired by the people leading this organisation.’

Furniture Village first entered the Best Companies Survey in 2021, achieving a 1-star

accreditation, which recognised Furniture Village as a ‘very good’ place to work. The company has continued to strive to improve this which led to the retailer achieving a 2-star accreditation in 2022, which recognised it as an ‘outstanding’ place to work.

Committed to creating the best workplace for staff, Furniture Village continues to provide the best in-industry training and development programmes, as well as a family partnership profitsharing scheme. This resulted in the business achieving a 3-star ‘world class’ accreditation in 2023.

Charlie Harrison, Managing Director of Furniture Village says, “We are delighted that Furniture Village has won three awards at the Best Companies Awards 2023 and has achieved the 3-star ‘world-class’ Best Companies accreditation. We were especially pleased to be recognised as one of the UK’s best large companies to work for. A combination of our unique people culture and ethos is what makes us all proud to be a part of Furniture Village’s ‘World Class Family Business.'"

He added, “We cannot thank our staff members enough for their continued dedication to the business. We look forward to the future as we continue to learn, grow and achieve together.”

‘The Best Companies to Work For Lists’ have been measuring, improving and recognising great workplace engagement since 2001.
