What charities do you support?
Sometimes we are asked what we do with the money we collect. Contrary to what is occasionally said, we do not drink it! Over the years DDMM have supported a number of different charities, normally local ones. These have included the Woodland Trusts, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Macmillan Nurses, the Wishbone Trust, Emmaus, and Cambridge Dial-a-Ride. To the latter we have made donations of £2,000 which has enabled the refurbishment of two minibuses.
From 2011 we are going to be supporting Headway Cambridgeshire. Headway Cambridgeshire provides information and support to brain injury survivors and their families to help them understand the effects of brain injury and to provide support and strategies for dealing with the effects from the moment of traumatic brain injury right up to recovery and rehabilitation in the East of England. For further information please look at their web-site www.headway-cambs.org.uk or contact Karen Bevan on 07919 373464.
Thus the more you give, the more we can give them!
