The Dean Garden Room Hosts Macmillan Cancer Support Coffee Morning


Our fantastic DFSC Centre Cooks, Jane, Karen & Nicky have this morning made a huge effort for Macmillan Cancer Support



They ran a Coffee and Cake morning at The Dean Garden Room (our wonderful new classroom building) as part of Macmillan's 'World's Biggest Coffee Morning'. 



With Tombola and raffle + further cake sales locally they raised an amazing £900 for this very worthwhile charity! Last year a record £15 million was raised for Macmillan with coffee mornings around the country.

We Love it When the Sun Shines!


Being on Outdoor Learning Centre we love it when the sun shines as our groups enjoy being outside in good weather. We now have even more reason to love it as we have just had 4 kWp Photo Voltaic Array installed on the roof of the Main Centre Building.


In under a week of use we've generated 50kWh of energy. Projected figures are that we should avoid 2,937 kg of CO2 emissions each year. Let's hope for lots more sunshine!
