Rolawn team sees the fruits of their labour

Rolawn supported its nominated charity, Greenfingers, at the opening of their latest hospice garden this week.

Grace House Hospice in Sunderland celebrated the official opening of their new ‘Nest and Rest’ sensory garden on 21st October with a ceremony conducted by Councillor David Snowdon, Mayor of Sunderland, along with Councillor Dianne Snowdon, Mayoress. 

Members of the Rolawn team who have been at the heart of this year’s fundraising efforts were delighted to attend the opening ceremony to see where their hard-earned cash goes.

Rachel Miller, from the Rolawn Production Department, who conquered the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge commented: “It was great to see how the money we raised goes towards improving hospice outdoor spaces and how that makes a real difference to the lives of the children and their families.”

Steve Handley, Rolawn engineer and part of the team who cycled Coast to Coast for Greenfingers, added: “This visit has inspired us to think about our fundraising plans for next year. I’d like to look at what else we can do to raise even more to help.”

Rolawn has supported Greenfingers for 15 years with a variety of events from monthly cake sales to weekends spent enduring tough physical challenges and the donation of products. In 2019 over £3,000 has been raised so far and the target for 2020 is to make that £5,000.

Important update: Temporary 6.5% surcharge effective 7 April 

At Rolawn, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service our customers expect, so we want to be open with our customers about a change that will affect pricing from Tuesday 7th April. 

This decision has been taken in response to disruption to energy supplies, which has led to significant increases in wholesale prices, affecting not only fuel and fertiliser but also costs throughout our wider supply chain. As a business that relies heavily on fuel for both transport and operations, these sustained cost pressures have become increasingly difficult to absorb.  

While we have worked hard to mitigate the impact, the scale and pace of recent price increases have now exceeded what we can sustain internally, and we therefore need to recover a proportion of these externally driven increases. 

From Tuesday 7th April, a temporary 6.5% surcharge will apply to all products.  

We know that any increase in price is frustrating, particularly at a time when many businesses and households are already feeling under pressure. That is why we want to be clear that this is not a decision we have made lightly, and not one we wanted to make. It has been introduced solely to help offset unavoidable cost inflation and allow us to continue delivering the quality, reliability and service standards associated with Rolawn. 

We will continue to monitor market conditions closely and will review this surcharge as soon as circumstances allow, providing reasonable notice of any changes. We recognise that any price increase is unwelcome, but this step is necessary to ensure the continuity and reliability of our operations during a period of ongoing uncertainty. 

We remain committed to providing the quality, reliability and service standards you expect from Rolawn, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. 

If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team who will be happy to help.
