Wherever possible and however possible, The DM Lab team do what they can, when they can, to support charities, charity work and the community.

Although the business, a micro business, with 2 (recently 3) employees, they embrace every opportunity to give something back.

Below is a list of our endeavours:

We’ve helped Luctonians establish a professional & manageable web presence which the in-house team manage. We’ve also helped with offline marketing literature & graphics.

We recently redeveloped the Mortimer Park website with the same CMS as the main Luctonians site. with a sleeker look & added functionality, it will help the club promote the venue & events side of things.

Our latest sponsorship is with LRFC. We helped them step away from an out-of-the-box web solution to a unique, customised website that we are training the in-house team to manage.

The venue at LRFC had its own site but we redeveloped this in line with the new LRFC website. With more functionality & easy to use CMS, the team are able to manage th site in-house.

Greyhound RFC are a small club with a big heart. We helped them with a dedicated web presence to promote the club with a long-term goal of growing the club’s senior, junior & ladies sections & the club’s stature.

We’ve helped support Belmont Wanderers FC & today boasts 18 sides overall with thriving junior, senior & girls & ladies sections. The club also have a nice little website to set them apart from other clubs.

We developed & donated a site to the CUBs team which we are, over time, showing the team how to manage to help compliment their social presence & spread the word about the fanatstic work they do.

We’ve helped the Herefordshire branch of the national Autistic society consolidate their web presence with a beautiful new website that the team will be able to manage themselves & promote their work.

We sponsored the one-off pink shirt Luctonians wore for a fixture & auctioned off immediately after the match in the 2017 / 2018 season. The club raised almost £10k for Breast Cancer Haven Hereford.

We helped the festival establish itself in it’s inaugral year in 2017 with a website, branding & promotion. Now established as an annual event, the festival is going from strength to strength.

We sponsored Greyhound Juniors RFC Under 9s section to take part in Sale Sharks’ Festival of Rugby in October where they also got to meet the players & take part in a parade at half time!

Every year we donate tickets to Circus Starr as it comes to Hereford bringing joy to disadvantaged children & families across the UK through the magical art of circus performance.

Chris has become a member of the Board of Trustees at the fantastic Canwood Gallery. He / we will be offering our assistance with their online and digital presence.

We were given the opportunity to be both the matchball and the match sponsor for Hereford RFC for their game against Longton RFC. Hereford RFC won the game 35-5.

This summer we are sponsoring Colwall Cricket Club’s fixture card. A new venture for us with regard to type of sport – the first time we have involved the business with a cricket club!

We supported our friend Martha of the awesome Send Cake by contributing toward the growth of the business and by doing this we’re now a part of the VIP Cake Club!

We support the Be The Change Awards. An up and coming new initiative for the social impact sector, recognising ethical & sustainable brands with a powerful impact story to tell.

With our presence and stature within the local business community, we support Herefordshire Means Business and the Herefordshire Business Awards as sponsors, speakers and judges.

We’re assisting The Cart Shed who provide tailored therapeutic support in a woodland setting. Helping those experiencing an imbalance in their lives to heal, learn and find friendship.

We are very proud sponsors of Westfields Football Club’s senior and junior sections. Supporting and working with such a high profile club is an incredibly exciting opportunity for us!

It’s not about the success of the business, rather it’s about what they do with their success.

The DM Lab have always done what they can to support clubs and events in the local community. As far back aswhen the business started. They have a successful micro business, run by Marketing Director Chris and Creative Director Dale. They have learned many valuable lessons along the way.

Furthermore, we’ve learned that a little help goes a long way.

No more so than their partnerships and sponsorships with clubs, organisations and events locally.

Nothing gives them more satisfaction than helping others and helping them to succeed. The DM Lab’s goal is to also help raise the profile of these clubs to the highest level they can.

Above all, it’s The DM Lab’s desire for the county’s clubs, organisations and events to be the best they can be that drives them. Not for profit or advertising.

However, despite their size, The DM Lab do everything in their power (and budget) to help and give back to the local community.

Outside of work, the team take part in events and where possible raise money. Annual events such as:

St Michael’s Hospice Run Hereford & the Wheelie Big Cycle

Swimathon for Cancer Research UK

Stand up to Cancer Gameathon

Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day

Pink Shirt Day for Breast Cancer Awareness

Movember

Provided a designed and printed programme for the Adelaide Law Foundation Charity Football Match

Sponsorships

Their sponsorships included The Herefordshire Business Awards and the Sunshine Radio Pride Awards after winning at both ceremonies last year.

Recognition

The DM Lab have been recognised for these efforts at the Midlands Business Awards 2019. They were finalists in the ‘Midlands Corporate Commitment to the Community’ award. However, they will continue to support all our current clubs, community and charity events. We are always looking for more opportunities.
