As part of a series of activities to mark World Mental Health Day, our Mental Health First Aiders in London teamed up with our employee resource group, Green Wave, to host an engaging terrarium-making workshop. The event attracted a group of employees, from various teams within Fitch, that were eager to learn, create, and connect. Participants had the opportunity to create their own self-watering garden in a glass jar. They delved into the history of terrariums, learning how to care for them, and discovering the ideal plants to fill them with. The workshop emphasized the benefits of nature for wellbeing, aligning perfectly with the theme of World Mental Health Day. No prior experience was necessary, making the workshop accessible to all. Attendees left with their own unique terrariums and a deeper understanding of how incorporating nature into our daily lives can enhance mental health. #MentalHealthDay #Wellbeing #Environment

Fitch, in partnership with buildOn, has successfully broken ground to build a new primary school in the vibrant community of Ramnagar, Nepal. This initiative underscores our unwavering commitment to fostering education and empowering communities around the world. Over the course of a week, our dedicated volunteers collaborated closely with local community members, working hand in hand to bring this project to life. Shared meals with host families and cultural exchange sessions enriched the experience, deepening the bond between volunteers and the community . Home to 150 households and a population exceeding 1,000, Ramnagar will get significant benefits from the new school. Currently, 125 students are enrolled, but once construction is completed, the school is expected to serve approximately 400 students, including those from neighboring villages. The three schools we have built this year in Senegal, Guatemala and Nepal highlight the power of collaboration and the incredible outcomes we can achieve when we unite with a shared vision. Many thanks to BuildOn and to every volunteer who contributed their time, energy, and passion to make this a reality. #QualityEducation #CommunityEngagement

We are thrilled to share the inspiring story of Sam and Dylan’s remarkable cycling adventure in support of mental health. Last week, Sam Brown and Dylan Thomas took on the challenge of cycling from our London office to our Paris office. Braving challenging weather conditions, including relentless rain and fierce winds, they completed this extraordinary journey in just two days! Thanks to the tremendous support and generosity from other employees, Sam and Dylan raised £1,745 to support the Mental Health Foundation exceeding their initial fundraising goal of £1,000. After their journey, they had the chance to recover and spend time with our colleagues in the Paris office and enjoy some well-deserved local cheese and baguettes. A huge thank you to everyone who donated and supported them along the way, helping to make a difference for mental health! #FitchGroup #CyclingChallenge #LondonToParis #MentalHealthSupport
