Thank you for joining the Spring Community Cake & Coffee Afternoon organised by the Dennisville Residents Association.
Dennisville is a friendly mixed residential community of 220 households. Fun fact, Dennisville was built in the 1930s to accommodate workers at the Dennis Brothers factory at Woodbridge Hill. Many fire engines still carry the brand name 'Dennis'! π
We are keen to support our local charities while enjoying a cuppa, a slide and a chatter. In this spring, we selected Challengers as we believe in their mission of transforming the lives of disabled children, young people and their families through the power of play, reducing social isolation and loneliness.π«
They provide a range of fully inclusive play and leisure opportunities for disabled children across the South East (Richmond, Kingston, Guildford, Basingstoke, Farnham, Winchester, Eastleigh, Chichester). In Year 2023-24, they delivered 18,036 sessions and 75,817 hours of play, supporting 752 young people.
