Over £16k raised at the Castle Walk!

We had a wonderful day of sunshine and smiles at Berkhamsted Castle, with around 300 walkers (and 20 dogs) joining us for their choice of 10 or 2-mile routes.

The event made its long-awaited return after a five-year break, and we were blown away by the positive energy and heartwarming messages from our community. A big thank you to all the participants and volunteers who made the day so special.

 

Help the Foodbank this Harvest time

We’ve reached the time of year where many schools, churches, businesses and individuals look to support their local Foodbank. If you can help, please consider donating any of our ‘High Needs List’ items, including tinned ham, jars of cooking sauces, 2-in-1 shampoo and much more.

Your donation, no matter how big or small, can make a difference for local individuals and families facing food poverty.

Could you leave a legacy?

Leaving a gift in your Will is a powerful way to make a difference for future generations of local people facing crisis. It’s also easier than you may think to set up.

Once you have made sure loved ones are looked after, could you leave a gift to DENS? Your support will help ensure our vital work can continue for many years to come.
