Dean’s is proud of its roots in the community and we think its important to show our appreciation by supporting local charities. Every year our staff nominate a Charity of the Year and since 2002 we have raised over £335,000 for a range of good causes. This is a combined total raised by customers and staff at both our York and Scarborough Garden Centres and also includes donations from the partners of the business.

Thank you very much to everyone who has supported us with our fundraising over the years!
