Give Up & Give Back for Lent

Make a change or give up something you enjoy during Lent, and donate the money you would have spent to help local individuals and families facing crisis.

Give up your posh coffee, playing a video game or your favourite snack. Your donation, no matter what the size, could help towards giving a family an emergency food parcel or someone a warm bed and a hot meal.

Faith groups are at the heart of DENS

DENS wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for local churches opening their doors during the cold winter months to support the homeless back in 1998.

Thanks to the continued support of faith groups, DENS now operates all year round and does much more than provide a bed to help those facing poverty, social exclusion, and homelessness in the local community.

Here's how you can support us

Your faith group could select DENS as its Charity of the Year or one of the charities it will support this year.

We also have some fantastic DENS-themed fundraising ideas you could organise. This includes:

  • Hosting a Frugal Super
  • Joining our Community Prayer Day on 19th July
  • And more!

If you like the sound of these ideas, or have one of your own, our Fundraising Team are here to help you every step of the way – whichever way you choose to fundraise. Please get in touch with our friendly team by emailing fundraising@dens.org.uk or calling 01442 800268.
