Christmas campaign 2015: RRF supports the Children and Youth hospice Balthasar

Christmas donation campaign for the hospice institution Balthasar in Olpe:

 

The RRF supports the Children and Youth hospice Balthasar in Olpe (Sauerland) with its Christmas campaign, following the guiding principle of the hospice institution “Do not start with a good purpose, but rather start with a little deed”.

 

For the team of the RRF it was important to engage socially this year. During the last years we always cherished the good cooperation with our customers with selected presents. For being able to donate the maximum possible amount under this year’s Christmas campaign, without letting our customers go empty-handed, the team of RRF baked Christmas cookies and sugared-roasted almonds with commitment and love

 

With the children’s and youth hospice we support a very important institution, which offers a place of retreat for seriously ill children and their families and which is standing by the families after the diagnosis of a serious illness. The little time that remains the children in their young lives shall be filled with joy, laughter and happiness.

 

During the visit, the management could assure itself of the great institution and the very important work of the staffs.

DJK Adler Union Essen-Frintrop e. V. got a Defibrillator:

adlerunionThe RRF participates on the purchase of a defibrillator for the DJK Adler Union Essen-Frintrop e. V. on the sports facility “Frintroper Wasserturm”.

World wide 84 pro footballers died during the last 5 years by the sudden cardiac death on the football pitch.

A first step to reduce this number is the enlightenment. Because of that recently they are advanced educations to raise the participants awareness for this topic and teach them how to act in emergency.

Additionally a practical instruction on the defibrillator ensued. So the participants become – on one hand helper and on the other hand multiplicator to share the knowledge in the club – important persons in the fight against the sudden cardiac death.

The team of RRF is happy to support that the purchase in such a big club is an important step to minimize the risk and helps the athletes to feel more comfortable and safe on the football pitch.

Important information about fireplaces for ethanol fuel and decorative oil lamps

Fireplaces for ethanol prospectively have to pass a test according to DIN 4734-1. As we expect more test orders, we increased our testing capacities.

 

Since January 2003 decorative oil lamps are subjected to a mandatory testing according to DIN EN 14059. The manufacturer, who places the fireplace on the market, is obliged to have the test carried out. Our testing capacities were also increased for this test.

 

For more information or a detailed offer to both tests we are available at all times.
