DCM We act as a drop off point for groceries and donations for DCM, which supports those who are marginalised in our city. Some of the items most needed are ready meals, soup, tinned fish, biscuits and crackers, tinned fruit, shampoo and conditioner, toilet paper – but any non-perishable food or basic toiletries are very welcome.
