⛰️ Last weekend, our CEO, Wendy, took on the National Three Peaks Challenge alongside fellow charity leders, celebrating the power of collaboration while raising vital funds to help DENS continue supporting local people facing homelessness, poverty and social exclusion.

We're delighted to report that Wendy successfully conquered all three peaks! It was no easy feat, with tough climbs, long hours and sheer determination required every step of the way, making her achievement all the more impressive. 👏

While the challenge may be over, there's still time to show your support. Please consider donating via https://www.justgiving.com/page/wendy-3-peaks-challenge-dens
