DBS has cycled 103 miles for Children in Need! You can still donate now

We have completed our Children in Need Challenge, and so far we have raised £1,467.50! Donate now using the button below or Follow this link…

Children In Need provide grants to projects in the UK which focus on children and young people who are disadvantaged. DBS want to help these children to have a future they deserve, to pursue their dreams, who knows it could be to become a dentist! On the other hand an accountant.

We are cycling to Brighton on an exercise bike. On Friday 18 November we will station an exercise bike in our office in Thame; each participating member of the team have rota time slots, we have to reach 98 miles over the day to have reached Brighton from Thame.

The bike also clocks the number of calories burnt, once you have donated you can guess the ‘total calories’. The closest guess will win a bottle of champagne.

Technology on our side, the bike will be streamed live to this page from Friday 18 November, so you can log on at anytime during the day and see which member of the team is cycling and how much effort they are putting in.

 

 

Here are some examples of what these children go through and how your donation could help.

1.6 million children in the UK are living in severe poverty. This means that their family struggle to afford basic things like bedding and clothing. Every £30 you raise could buy bedding to keep a child warm at night and let them have a good night’s sleep, something most of us take for granted.

Every 22 minutes, a child in the UK loses their mum or dad. Just £17 would provide a bereavement counselling session for a child who has lost their mum or dad.

There are 23,500 children in the UK who live with a health condition for which there is no cure. Receiving medical care to help manage these conditions can be scary and frightening for young children and their families. Every £15 that you raise could help pay for an hour of specialist nursing for a severely disabled child.

So dig deep and help DBS make a difference! Make a donation now.
