Charity Partners

We are proud to be working with the following charities to help conserve and protect not just the British countryside, but also the Earth’s rainforest communities. Find out more about our partners, their great work and why Dengie chooses to support them.

Essex Wildlife Trust

The county’s leading conservation charity, committed to protecting wildlife and inspiring a lifelong love of nature. With our main production site being situated in the heart of Essex and our inherent relationship with the land we understand the importance of sustainable farming. It is why many of our farmers choose to grow the alfalfa itself as they recognise the benefits this incredible plant offers to the soil, wildlife and wider environment. By supporting Essex Wildlife Trust, we are in turn supporting many of their projects which include a Barn owl conservation project, purchasing land to provide wildlife corridors and introducing Black Honey bees and Polecats back to the area.

British Hen Welfare Trust

The British Hen Welfare Trust is the only registered charity dedicated to rehoming and improving the lives of hens. Their mission is to raise awareness and influence commercial hen welfare and to strengthen and contribute to the highest welfare for commercial and domestic kept hens. Since 2005, they have rehomed over one million ex-commercial laying hens, saving them from slaughter and finding loving homes for them to enjoy a free-range retirement.

It is an industry-led solution, championing the recycling of farm plastic.

Operating a network of independent waste plastic collectors and collection points throughout the UK, the scheme provides a solution for farmers to deal with their plastic waste correctly.
