The Adeyfield Academy recently hosted an inspiring assembly focused on DENS, with students encouraged to get involved through a fun colouring competition of our mascot, Denny the Bear 🐻

For just 50p per entry, pupils created some truly fantastic pieces of artwork. Take a look at a few of the masterpieces here! 🎨🤩

An office desk can be so much more than just a desk…

Your donation to the DENS More Than Appeal will help create life-changing opportunities for local people like Ben, who are experiencing homelessness, poverty and social exclusion 💛

Please give today and bring the DENS Centre, our new home, to life 🏢 https://charity.dens.org.uk/5bfb90

Thank you for making our Castle Walk such a special day! 👣

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us, volunteered their time or supported the event. It was amazing to see so many walkers take on our beautiful 5 and 10 mile routes, and the sense of community throughout the day was truly wonderful 🙌

Your support enables DENS to continue providing vital services to local people facing crisis. We simply couldn’t do it without you! 💛
