The Dennis Wise & Frankham Group Charitable Trust located in Sidcup not only turns 15yrs old this year, we are also nearing our £1m raised target which we hope to reach at our Million Pound Masquerade Ball on the 21st March at the Savoy Hotel, London.

Dennis Wise & Frankham Group Charitable Trust (formally Dennis Wise in the Community) was founded in the 2000 through a passion of helping others and improving lives by Ex Chelsea FC Captain Dennis Wise and Chairman of Frankham Consultancy Group Steve Frankham.

The Trust was set up to help raise money for children and adults with disabilities and since inception has gone from strength to strength.

Our Mission Statement: "To support such general charitable purpose as the trustees in their absolute discretion may determine for those who are socially and economically disadvantaged, in particular but not exclusively to provide financial support for education, to provide transport facilities for persons who have a special need of such facilities because they are elderly, poor, disabled, people with young children or those living in isolated areas where there are no adequate public transport facilities and to provide support to children with disabilities and organisations providing hospice and care services to children."

All proceeds are donated towards various local charities including Parkwood Hall, Threshers Day Nursery, Northlands (Multiple Sclerosis Society), Demelza Hospice, Burgess Autistic Trust, Marlborough School to name but a few and over the last year we have started our challenge of donating 100 new school minibuses to local schools. We are now on Minibus No. 5 with a further 3 on order.

It would be fantastic if your paper would like to do an article on our achievement, we are a local Trust helping local schools in the area. At Easter our company will also be holding an Easter Egg collection to donate to Threshers Day Nursery.
