BUGLER vs LDN Marathon for DENS

Raising money for DENS - Helping rebuild lives

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 ·

Our aim is to be the first port of call for people in Dacorum who are facing homelessness, poverty and social exclusion; to support and empower them to take the next positive step in their lives.

Story

Scott, Kevin, Geoff, Thomas and Leonor are running the London Marathon 2026 for DENS, a cause that has become very personal to us.

As part of our work with Bugler, we are involved in the Paradise Depot scheme, which includes the building of the new office, café and food bank for DENS in Hemel Hempstead.

This marathon is our way of supporting them not just on the construction site, but also through this incredible fundraising challenge.

The team want to raise £20,000 in total and Bugler Foundation has started us off with an incredible £5,000 donation.

Your donation will directly contribute to the DENS vital work at providing a lifeline for so many people in the community.

What your donations could pay for:

£10: Provides a shower and a hot meal for two people at the DENS Day Centre.

£20: Supplies a three-day food parcel for an individual facing food poverty.

£50: Funds four food hygiene courses for participants at the DENS community café.
