Our team visited Dogs Trust to present the funds we raised in support of their incredible work. The experience filled us with pride and reaffirmed our commitment to making a positive difference for animals in need.

Our fundraising efforts were as diverse as they were spirited, beginning with a lively staff bake sale that quickly became a highlight of the office calendar. The event featured an impressive spread of homemade treats, from decadent chocolate brownies to cupcakes decorated with pawprints. It quickly became clear that we have some truly talented bakers among us, and that no cake was safe from our enthusiastic sampling!

Next came our “Guess the Baby” competition, a light-hearted challenge where brave staff members submitted their childhood photos for public scrutiny. Who could have predicted just how many secret redheads work at Somers? More than anything, the activity highlighted the camaraderie and warmth that make our workplace so special.

Thanks to everyone’s generosity and an outpouring of team spirit, we raised substantial funds for Dogs Trust. But we didn’t stop there. During our visit, we also delivered cosy dog beds, colourful toys, and other essentials to help make life at the shelter a little brighter for its residents. Meeting the Dogs Trust team in person was inspiring, and seeing their dedication firsthand highlighted the exceptional care given to every dog, from bouncing puppies to older dogs patiently waiting for their forever homes.

When a workplace unites behind a shared purpose, teamwork, creativity, and generosity naturally follow.

We’re incredibly proud of what our team achieved and of the difference these efforts will make for dogs in need.
