A group of leaders is donating their time over the Christmas holidays and through January and however long it takes to give the Den a thorough overhaul. We're looking at re-kitting the kitchen, fixing the floors, tidying the toilets, installing new front and back doors, reinstating the gate, healing the heating, rebuilding the shed, giving various areas a lick of paint and thoroughly tidying up the outside to make the area usable for our beavers, cubs, explorers and scouts.

We have secured a beautiful recycled kitchen for free, saving us hundreds of pounds, but we still need funding for everything else. Please help us? We give our time, blood, sweat and tears; can you give some cash?

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

PS for those confused by the name of the group: we are known as both First Crystal Palace and Second Croydon - but registered with JustGiving under the latter.
