Denefield and Eden Vauxhall

We are delighted to be working in partnership with Eden Vauxhall, who have kindly loaned us a fully electric Vauxhall Combo E van. The van will support a range of school needs, from transporting equipment for events and sports fixtures to helping staff with day-to-day tasks across our site and local area.

This partnership reflects Denefield’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, reducing our carbon footprint and promoting greener choices across our community.

A huge thank you to Eden Vauxhall for their generosity and support.
