Dyno-Rod teams up with Army Cadet Charitable Trust UK for STEPtember to promote mental health awareness

We are proud to announce Dyno-Rod is joining forces with the Army Cadet Charitable Trust UK (ACCT UK) to support their Take ACCTion campaign.

Take ACCTion is a national fundraising initiative that unites people around four important goals:

• Support mental health resilience in the next generation of leaders
• Fundraise for ACCT UK, helping to continue support for cadet activities
• Promote awareness of mental health struggles
• Learn how to take steps to a healthier mind

As part of this, we are taking part in STEPtember – a five-week initiative running from International Day of Charity (5th September) to World Mental Health Day (10th October) 2025.

The aim is to collectively log approximately 20,775,000 steps – roughly 8,310 miles – which is the shortest distance from the UK to Antarctica.

All funds raised will help continue supporting cadet activities and go towards Jordan Wylie MBE’s goal of raising £100,000 to support ACCT UK through his Antarctic Odyssey 2025.

This exciting partnership brings together our franchisees, suppliers, partners, and HQ team for a charitable cause we are truly passionate about.

Why we’re taking ACCTion

Mental health challenges affect 1-in-5 young people and 1-in-4 adults. However, too often stigma and misunderstanding prevent people from getting the support they need.

We’re proud to back ACCT UK’s mission to break down these barriers and support the next generation to build a better future.

These values align with our wider commitment to community, wellbeing, and creating life-changing opportunities for young people.

How our network can get involved

STEPtember is open to everyone, and it’s easy (and fun!) to take part.

So we are warmly inviting everyone connected to Dyno-Rod – whether franchisees, staff, or suppliers – to join in.

From walking the dog, your daily jog on the treadmill, or playing in the park with the kids, every step counts!

If you fancy a bigger objective, you can set yourself your own fundraising challenge, such as walking 100,000 steps in the month.

We will also be offering opportunities for franchises to engage with their local army cadet unit and take on unique challenges together.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in advance for taking part and supporting our mission. Together, let’s Take ACCTion and help build a brighter, healthier future for the next generation.
