DFCC Bank Kicks Off ‘Ride for Life’ for 2026
February 13, 2026, Colombo, DFCC Bank PLC (DFCC Bank) marked the start of its 2026 wellbeing and community engagement calendar with its annual Ride for Life initiative, uniting employees and clients across the country to raise awareness on mental health and support Sri Lanka’s 1333 Suicide Prevention Hotline. With close to 150 participants and nearly 100 kilometres ridden collectively, the initiative set the tone for a year of sustained action centred on wellbeing, purpose, and community impact.
The staff-led Ride for Life was held with rides organised simultaneously in Colombo, Kandy, Negombo, and Galle. Nearly 100 DFCC Bank employees took part, each completing a 20-kilometre ride, reinforcing a shared message around early intervention, awareness, and the importance of accessible support for mental wellbeing.
Building on this momentum, DFCC Bank thereafter hosted a second Ride for Life with the participation of DFCC Bank Pinnacle clients. Approximately 50 riders joined the exclusive client ride, covering 21 kilometres, extending the Bank’s advocacy beyond its internal community and into its wider stakeholder network.
Together, the two rides covered close to 100 kilometres, symbolising collective effort and shared responsibility in addressing a critical national issue.
The Ride for Life initiative signals the beginning of a broader programme of wellbeing-focused activities planned by DFCC Bank for 2026, encompassing staff engagement, community outreach, and awareness-building initiatives designed to support mental health and emotional resilience.
Through this sustained approach, DFCC Bank continues to align its social responsibility efforts with long-term impact, reinforcing its belief that meaningful progress is built through consistency, participation, and purpose-driven action.
