DRIVING DACORUM'S BUSINESS FUTURE. This was the theme of the Mayor of Dacorum Cllr. Stephen Holmes Business Lunch, held last Tuesday 15th September at Breakspear Park and attended by 130 businesses and 25 exhibitors. Businesses were challenged to plan for regeneration in the three key areas of Preparation, Partnership and People.
Andy Cook, Chairman of The Maylands Partnership and CEO of FFEi said that too often businesses have planned only for the immediate, ignoring the future. "If you plan for nothing," he said, "you will get nothing. Businesses must have a plan for recovery".

Donate your spare storage space to DENS
Dry, secure storage space is essential for DENS. Without it, we could not accept the many generous food and
clothing donations made to us by our supporters.
We currently have three storage places – one for food donations, one for clothing and one for small household
items. However, our clothing store is being reclaimed and we need to urgently find alternative suitable storage
for all the clothes, bed linen and towels that are donated to us. A warehouse or an empty building on an otherwise
occupied site would be ideal.
DENS storage which has been given free of charge to us has enabled us to:
store and distribute hundreds of tins of food, given to us by individuals, schools, churches, businesses etc.
store small household objects and items of furniture until our homeless clients are moving into their own
homes and need them;
provide 200 cans of soup to the St Albans Sleepout in December 2006 which was given out to ‘sleepers’ raising
funds for homeless charities including DENS.
Distribute over 100 hampers of food and toiletries to disadvantaged and vulnerable men, women and families
over Christmas 2005 and 2006 helping them to cope better over the festive period.
If you think you can help please phone DENS on 01442 262274.
