Visual Print and Design continued its work with Bishop Grosseteste University this April
Lincoln and Glasgow-based business Visual Print and Design has continued to build important relationships with charities and educators.
Recognising the need for the British Heart Foundation to help people with heart and circulatory conditions via lifesaving research, Visual Print embarked on a month-long cycling challenge.
The company has also shared its recent two-year contract commencement with Bishop Grosseteste University, with a potential extension of another year.
The project involves printing 25,000 prospectuses, 20,000 miniguides, and 18,000 bespoke box envelopes to align with the university’s opening days and UCAS fairs.
Both projects demonstrate two big parts of the print industry – working with the likes of schools, colleges, and universities, all of which need printed materials as well as balancing business practices with community initiatives like raising money for charity.
Visual Print’s cycle challenge named ‘Biking for Beats’ ran throughout February and consisted of cycling the distance from Land’s End to John O’Groats, covering a total of 1,914km.
The team reached its goal thanks to the support of customers who visited the office to cycle a few kilometres as well as the extra time the staff dedicated to the gym.
Beyond the challenge, the team also took part in CPR training and donated clothing to the British Heart Foundation charity shops.
Melanie Meik, fundraising manager for the British Heart Foundation in Lincolnshire and Rutland, says: “The Visual Print and Design team did something great this Heart Month by fundraising and learning the lifesaving skill of CPR. Every penny raised and every newly trained lifesaver has the potential to help us to change and save lives by powering our research into heart and circulatory diseases.
“[…] Donations received give the world’s brightest scientific minds the best chance of transforming ideas into lifesaving treatments and cures. Stem cell treatments that have the power to repair damaged hearts. Accurate 3D printed models of hearts that can help surgeons perform complex surgeries. Drugs that could one day tackle vascular dementia.”
