When RES in Kings Langley came to us with a large donation of DELL laptops, notebooks and desktops we had no problem in finding good homes for them all.
They were eagerly snapped up by Dacorum Heritage Trust, Princes Trust, Swan Youth Centre, Herts Scouts, Road Victims Trust, U3A Dacorum, Dacorum Mencap, Bennetts End Community Centre, Warners End Community Centre, Homestart, Demand, Dacorum Citizens Advice Bureau, and Woodfield School.
So a huge Thank You to RES for their kind donation.
For several years now Storax Racking Supplies kindly donate bottles of port to Connect Dacorum to share out to local charities.
This year, when the Any Use? email was sent out to the charities, all 6 bottles were snapped up within 7 minutes. Must be a record!!
The local charities who have benefited are: DENS, Cavendish School, Sunnyside Rural Trust, Hemel Hempstead Rotary Club, Rennie Grove Hospice and the Hospice of St Francis who are all running raffles or events in the run up to Christmas.
Many thanks again to Storax for their very generous donation.
When Dacorum Heritage Trust came to us with a dilema of moving some furniture, Furnell Transport stepped up to the mark. Pam Gaskin from Dacorum Heritage Trust was delighted with the help.
Ashridge Management College have donated storage units to the Hospice of St Francis and Sunnyside Rural Trust.
West Herts College were looking for local business people to give mock interviews and act as a business mentor to their students who were about to look for employment. Following a request from Connect Dacorum several local companies offered their help.
