CharityDean's is proud of its roots in the community and we think its important to show our appreciation by supporting local charities. Over the years we have raised tens of thousands of pounds for a range of good causes - including SNAPPY, Age Concern, RNLI North East, The Stroke Association, Breast Cancer Care, The British Heart Foundation, Martin House Hospice and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, McMillan Nurses and equipment for York District Hospital. Staff and Customers have taken part in dozens of activities from in store events, sponsored runs, Treasure Hunts and "It's a Knockout" events!
For 2010 we have chosen 2 Charities of the Year: St. Leonard's Hospice - York St. Catherine's Hospice - Scarborough
Donations from our customers via our wishing wells and collection boxes etc. will solely go to the relevant local hospice, along with any money raised at staff organised events at York and Scarborough. York total raised to 28th February - £250.99
Scarborough total raised to 28th February - £132.30

In 2009 we chose 3 charities which were SNAPPY, Age Concern & RNLI North East. Through various fund raising events from customer donations at both Garden Centres, staff members sponsored events, supplier donations and our Christmas displays a grand total of £12,338.52 was raised which is to be divided equally between the three charities. A big thank you to everyone who helped us raise this amount for these good causes.
