The Devizes Constituency Community Fund (DCCF) is a non-political charitable fund set up on the initiative of our MP Danny Kruger, purely to support local charities and causes in our constituency. The fund is administered by the Wiltshire Community Foundation.
We need your support!
Currently there are several local charities and causes in our constituency that desperately need help. Many constituents will have been severely affected by the Cost of Living Crisis and there is more demand than ever from local food banks, mental health services, and projects supporting the vulnerable and elderly.
So PLEASE donate generously to this very worthy cause on your doorstep by calling 01380 738989 or online using the button below.
