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 made donations to 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, Cambridge Dial-a-Ride, Headway Cambridgeshire, Jimmy's Cambridge, The Prospects Trust, and the Royal Papworth Charity.
From our AGM in 2022 From 2023 we shall be supporting The Rooprai Spinal Trust (RST).
RST is an award winning, entirely voluntary charity that helps paralysed individuals to access life changing specialist physiotherapy. Inspired by Marrianne Rooprai, who was paralysed from the shoulders down a number of years ago and whose approach to dealing with a life-changing spinal cord injury has seen her twice voted one of the 100 most influential disabled people in the UK, the RST's physio scholarship programme started in Cambridgeshire and has now grown nationally. To see more about how your help is making a difference, please visit www.rstrust.com or Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.

Thus the more you give, the more we can give them!
