Charity Fundraising at DPL

Dransfield Properties supports many charities and good causes through the company's annual charity bike ride as well as through the Dransfield Foundation.

This year's Tour of Europe charity bike ride saw the team completing their final leg of the tour, clocking up 335 gruelling miles from Newcastle to London where the tour began 14 years ago.

The teams at our award winning shopping centres also pride themselves on supporting local cases:
