Charity and Healthcare

DCS aims to promote excellent healthcare facilities for the local community and supports a variety of healthcare associated charities.

Each month our staff donate funds to a local charity of their choosing. The total is matched by DCS Group - doubling the donation.

DCS helps our local Banbury hospice St Katherines on a regular basis as we see Hospice care as such a vital need for our local community.

In 2014 Denys Shortt OBE was the Chairman of the Stratford Hospital Appeal - which raised £1.5 million in funds to help a brand new £24 million hospital development offering Cancer and Eye care for the local community.

Over the years DCS has provided over 5000 toiletries packs for Help for Heroes and the RAF Aeromedical Evacuation team.

Below are a few examples of our support:

Warwickshire Northamptonshire Air Ambulance

The Warwickshire Northamptonshire Air Ambulance is one of our nominated Charity’s in 2014.

The charity provides a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) to the counties of Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and the Milton Keynes area. Their main purpose is to prevent loss of life, relieve sickness and aid recovery to those in need across the entire operating area. They provide an excellent service funded entirely by voluntary donations, driven by first class professionals and supported by an army of fantastic volunteers.
