On 12th July 2023, we were awarded the David Hackett Award for Outstanding Achievement due to our support of Meeting Needs. Meeting Needs is a leading charity in the meeting and events industry. It was founded by leading figures in the UK conference and event industry, bringing together venues, agencies, and suppliers to raise funds and change lives.
By raising money through fundraising initiatives and their sponsors, Meeting Needs can provide support for small tangible projects and initiatives that may not otherwise have access or would be granted funding. These projects have a direct impact on the quality of life for individuals and communities worldwide. Here at DRPG, we’ve been supporting Meeting Needs for more than 20 years, and we’re so honoured to receive the David Hackett Award for Outstanding Achievement. Below are just a few highlights of the kind of fundraising we’ve been involved with over the years for Meeting Needs and here’s to many more!
The Great Rickshaw Rally
Ergo Challenge
Shortly after The Great Rickshaw Rally, our Construction, Warehouse, and Print teams took on the challenge to row 24 hours non-stop. Rowing more than 1,000,000 metres, it was quite the challenge but thanks to the strength and endurance of those who participated, we were able to make sure anything’s possible! Our rickshaw and ergo efforts raised £10,000 in total for Meeting Needs. We’re sure those who took part had a nice sit down afterward!
