DENS
A local charity providing critical support and long-term solutions for homeless people and those in poverty.
DENS tackles homelessness and poverty in the Dacorum area of Hertfordshire, by giving people the chance to build a better future.
One of the main reasons Quanta chose to support DENS is because of how misrepresented homeless people are. Homelessness can happen to people from all walks of life (and for so many different reasons).
