Derwen Charity supports Derwen College, a not-for-profit organisation.

Through your donation Derwen Charity can provide extra experiences and opportunities to our students, who have special educational needs and disabilities, so that they have the opportunity to truly progress and thrive.

Our mission is to enable everyone to achieve beyond what they, and others, believe possible. Through our positive and empowering culture we give students the confidence and experience to live life their own way.

There are no ‘typical’ students at Derwen College. For us, there is so much joy to be found in difference.
