We very much hope that you’ll come and support the return of our village fete for the first time since 2019. We’re committed to giving back to our community as well as fundraising for the upkeep of the hall, this year we’re supporting two local charities – the Chiltern Foodbank and the Chilterns Dog Rescue Society.

Chiltern Foodbank

At present 20% of the population live below the poverty line and this throws into sharp focus the work of the Chiltern Foodbank, who through the efforts of their committed volunteers try to ensure those most in need do not go hungry.

The Chiltern Foodbank, now in its tenth year of operations, aims to provide help where it’s needed most in the form of emergency food parcels delivered directly to people in the Chiltern and Wendover Districts.

Chilterns Dog Rescue Society

Chilterns Dog Rescue Society, a local independent Rescue and Rehoming centre, was founded in 1963 and has rehomed tens of thousands of dogs in the local area.

In 2017 the society moved into their first dedicated home – a purpose-built rescue centre in Chivery, near Tring. Through the launch of their new location, Chilterns Dog Rescue Society can now provide veterinary care and specialist training to dogs that need it the most.

You can read more about the Chiltern Foodbank and the Chilterns Dog Rescue Society in our Fete Programme, which you should have received from our doorknock volunteers this week. If they missed you, please feel free to pick up a copy of the programme on the day.
