Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
2024
As reported last year, in 2024 the DKF established a relationship with Hertfordshire County Council (“HCC”).
Our first interaction with HCC saw us being engaged in a consultancy capacity on their public mural at the underpass next to Harpenden Station.
We provided an Audio Description of the mural which can be accessed on site via a QR code so the blind and visually impaired community are able to enjoy the mural.
These two links provide more info and the second is the actual audio description the DKF provided, together with the mural itself. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2n7gv1l2xo?fireglass_rsn=true
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-e_JmkHkOo
We received a donation and we are currently liaising with HCC so we can support a local visually impaired sports club or athlete.
Future Activity
Since the completion and launch of the mural in the summer of 2024, the DKF remains in discussions with HCC and other councils for similar collaborations on other murals.
