Who Benefits?

The Dacorum Community Trust (DCT)  An independent charity founded in 1976, DCT was set up by local people to raise money to make grants     to provide whatever help is needed in the community, and to ensure local causes needing assistance are not overlooked at a time when existing forms of support are limited, and when attention is diverted towards high-profile national appeals. DCT helps many other local voluntary organisations so that donations will be used to make effective grants where they are really needed. www.dctrust.org.uk

Grants are made to individuals and organisations for all sorts of things and include - to name just a few:

Helping the very young: The Cutting Edge Partnership and Apsley Lock Preschool.

Helping Young People: Herts. Young Homeless, Kids Inc After School, Camelot Junior Football, Mencap (local young adults with learning difficulties)

Helping local elderly & sick people: Age Concern, Heart to Herts Cardiac Support Group, Dacorum Alzheimer’s Society, Marie Curie Cancer Care

The Mayor, Councillor Mrs. Carol Green has chosen The Dacorum Community Trust as her charity for her Mayoral year (2008-2009) aiming for long term support to ensure the Trust can continue its vital work in the future.  

 

 

 

 

“As times get harder the Trust is able to make emergency grants for food, for heating and cooking facilities and even for shoes,” Councillor Green said.  “Problems are often hard to see in our lovely borough, but sadly for all sorts of reasons, many are struggling to cope. A small grant at a stressful time can make a life-changing  difference. I would like to thank you in advance for supporting this charity and I am looking forward to seeing the wonderful cars on the day - fingers crossed for nice weather!”
