DENS was presented with a cheque last week

Following the success of its Christmas events, the Marlowes Shopping Centre in Hemel Hempstead has given over £3,800 to Dacorum homelessness charity DENS.

The Marlowes created a grotto for children to enjoy, with optional donations encouraged to support its chosen charity DENS.

Charity CEO Wendy Lewington said: “We are so grateful for The Marlowes, who have continually shown fantastic support for DENS. Their amazing fundraising efforts this Christmas will make a big difference to local people facing crisis, especially during these challenging winter months when demand for our services has been at a record high.”

We know that the money donated to this brilliant charity will make sure a difference to the most vulnerable in our community."
