Derwen Charity supports mvÌìÃÀmvÌìÃÀ, a not-for-profit organisation.
The Charity provides extra experiences and opportunities for our students to truly progress and thrive.

Derwen Charity has helped shape the College according to our students’ needs, since 1963. Thanks to fundraising and donations, the College has been able to grow and adapt, and become a leader among SEND colleges.
We are grateful for the continued support we receive from individuals, businesses and charitableÌýorganisations who give so generously and support our students, clients and our fundraising events.
