Dreams

👏 We recently celebrated year two of our three-year partnership with Shelter. 💜 Earlier this month we shone a light on the colleagues who have gone above and beyond to support our #charity partnership with Shelter. We want to thank The Team BQ to Paris cyclists, The Distribution Pastie Relay Team and Daniel Edmunds who were shortlisted for their outstanding efforts and achievements. On the night, we raised a staggering £4,460 in our Shelter raffle and wrapped up with an evening of entertainment and celebration. 🎉   🏆 Jonathan Tebble from Shelter attended and presented the winner of the 'Above and Beyond Shelter Champion of the Year' award to Daniel Edmunds, Team Leader at our Recovery Centre.   Jonathan Hirst, our CEO congratulated Dan for "working closely with Shelter's Retail team to arrange collections of product to be delivered to Shelter stores, helping us to raise over £39,000 from sale of Dreams merchandise. On top of this, he remains a committed Shelter supporter and fundraiser, running the Great Birmingham Run and climbing Mount Snowdon. He is a true Shelter advocate, going above and beyond to raise awareness of the partnership.”

At the start of the month, we welcomed 400 of our colleagues and business partners to our annual company event: The Above and Beyond Awards 2024. 💥   Our CEO, Jonathan Hirst kicked off the evening by sharing his reflections on this year’s most significant investments and greatest achievements despite the continuing challenging economic backdrop.   We then moved onto the highlight of our evening: the awards. A huge thank you and congratulations goes to all our colleagues for their success this year, with a special mention given to those who were nominated for outstanding achievement awards. Dreams wouldn’t be Dreams without you. ❤️   #strongertogether #loveyourbed

Last month at Dreams, we focused on promoting colleague #wellbeing through an emphasis on women’s health and menstruation. Over the month we shared inspiring stories from colleagues, hosting insightful webinars and most importantly taking steps to enhance support within our business.   We now have sanitary bins across all our distribution sites and offer free period products at locations where we have the highest number of female colleagues.   As we move into November, our attention shifts to #menshealth as part of our commitment to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and respectful workplace for everyone. We've got some great events lined up designed to bring our colleagues together and create safe spaces for open and honest conversation.    Stay tuned!   #WellbeingAtWork #InclusiveWorkplace

🌍💙 This World Homeless Day, Dreams is proud to support our long-standing partner Shelter in helping make a safe night’s sleep a reality for everyone.   From Thursday 10 October to Sunday 13 October, we will be donating £5 for every transaction – online or in-store – to Shelter’s emergency helpline, which supports those experiencing or at risk of homelessness.   With over 151,000 children currently living in temporary accommodation, the housing crisis has reached record levels, and every contribution counts. Together, we can help provide vital support to families in need.   This campaign is part of our ongoing commitment to being a Force for Good, as we work alongside Shelter to create long-term change for those without a safe place to call home.   Let’s turn shopping into support – every transaction makes a difference.    #WorldHomelessDay
