Sign up for DENS cycling challenge to help the homeless in Hemel Hempstead

DENS is encouraging people to kick start their new year by signing up for a cycling challenge to help the homeless in Dacorum.

Run in association with British Cycling, there is a choice of either a 60k or 100k challenge that takes you over rolling Chiltern Hills, putting your strength power to the test to take on the Whiteleaf Hill climb.

Finally, speed across the finish line knowing that you have made a big difference to those who are facing homelessness, poverty and social exclusion.

DENS houses, supports and empowers vulnerable single homeless people, and others in crisis, to transform their lives.

Community and events fundraising manager Nicky Maxwell-Braithwaite said: “Join hundreds of other cyclists on Sunday 18th April, all you need is a bike and a sense of fun and an open mind. It’s a fantastic way to get some exercise and look after both your physical and mental health.

"In addition, you’ll be helping to highlight, the issues that homeless people face.”

"Over the past five years, the Hillbuster has raised over £36,000 to help fund DENS’ integrated services.

"This year, with your help, DENS would love to raise even more to continue to help rebuild the lives of local people.”
