President's Charity/IES

Since 2004 it has been the custom for DASLS President to nominate a charity for their year of office. Charities have included Children’s Hospice South West, Friends of Rowancroft Hospice, Farms for City Children, MacMillan, North Devon Hospice, Devon and Somerset Community Foundations, The C Group, Devon Air Ambulance, Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, Wooden Spoon and Step One.

Money has been raised through a combination of sponsored events, raffles, quiz nights and at other social events. So far we have raised more than £40,000. For the year 2021-2022, Headway Devon and Headway Somerset are the President’s chosen charities.  Click here for their introductory article.
