Some of the prizes include two little boozy bottle hampers, two three-month gym memberships to the TFS Berkhamsted Gym, a one hour reflexology session with Jenny Sumner, a bar in box donated by BBC radio’s food and drink broadcaster Nigel Barden, and some signed scrubs from some cast members from Holby City - which is ending this season.

Emma is hoping to raise £1,000 for DENS to help the charity continue the work it does for the homeless in Dacorum.

Emma said: "DENS is a local charity and provides an amazing service for the homeless in Dacorum.

"I like to support a local charity as you know where the money is going and you can see directly who is benefitting from it and how it is helping people. I think it is also important to raise awareness of the service and the work they are doing.

"It is really is a great cause and I would love it if I could raise the profile to raise even more money for this great local charity.

"Last year I raised £1,700 and would love to do the same again this year too, I’ve raised nearly £5000, in total over the years and it's great to get the community together to give something back.
