Category: Dorset Charity

The Dorset Charity section is a direct link to the pages of the digital BV magazine.

Allowing us to highlight excellent local charities and their work.

Each month, we endeavor to showcase at least a couple of charities. We try to tell their story, how they came about, what they do and why they are here in the first place.

The important work these charities take on is a much needed resource not only in Dorset but the whole of the UK and beyond.

From specialist tiny charities concentrating on perhaps just one type of dibilitating disease; to larger charities perhaps dealing with mental inllness to homelessness.

All are important, all deserve a mention and all deserve our support.
