The Dicksons fund
Supporting our local communities
At Dicksons, community isn't just a word – it's part of who we are. As a proud family business, we believe in giving back to the areas we call home. That’s why we’re committed to supporting recognised initiatives and local charities that make a real difference.
Every year, through The Dickson Fund, we offer grants to a select group of local charities. Whether it’s helping a community project take off, supporting a grassroots organisation, or providing a boost to those who need it most, we’re here to lend a hand.
Our support doesn’t stop at grants. We’re always keen to get involved – from fundraising events to volunteering and championing local causes. It’s our way of saying thank you to the communities that have supported us for generations.
