DJS Research Ltd

Bike-riding, baking, handstands and pumpkin picking – just a few of the activities undertaken by DJS Research staff and their families to help raise funds for our charity of the year, The Thomas Theyer Foundation, one sunny day in October.

As we were unable to do our planned office-to-office walk (Strines to Leeds) in June because of Covid-19, we wanted to come up with a great alternative fundraiser; something fun that we could do at home, and even get our families and children involved in. We really felt that fundraising at this time was really important as charities have faced additional challenges since the pandemic began, especially some of the smaller ones.

And so came about The DJS 'Do your 25 on the 25th!’ challenge!

Thomas Theyer would have been 25 years-old this year and so we wanted to incorporate the numbers ‘2’ and ‘5’ into our challenge to support his charity, The Thomas Theyer Foundation. The charity was set up by Thomas' parents after he tragically passed away in 2013 and fundraises to help children and young people with additional needs, as well as their families and carers.
