The British Home in California
DBE in Colorado, along with other states in the Western district, supports the British Home in California. The home was founded by the women of DBE in 1930 to provide care for “aged men and women of British birth and ancestry.” From just one small cottage in the foothills of Sierra Madre, today, there are seven cottages on a two and a half acre campus offering homes for up to 41 residents.
While keeping its British character, the home now welcomes citizens and residents of all nationalities and walks of life. As the website proclaims: “You don’t have to be British to be a resident. It might help, however, if you enjoy tea and Downton Abbey.”
The mission of The British Home is: “To provide an excellent retirement Home in beautiful, comfortable surroundings with exceptional levels of loving care and compassion.”
In addition to our support for the British Home, each DBE Colorado chapter chooses their own causes to support - financially and through volunteering

The Denver Street School is a beacon of hope for students who’ve been unable to find their place in traditional high schools. Students have faced abusive situations, mental health issues, drug use, and financial challenges.
At Sandhurst, we applaud the outcomes – 95% of DSS graduates go on to higher education, vocational school, apprenticeships, military, or the workforce.

Royal Daffodil supports this wonderful organization that helps pet owners during times of financial hardship, keeping pets in their existing homes with the families who love them. Each month about 100,000 pounds of food are distributed to pet families. The pantry frequently partners with human food banks, helping households care for the whole family.
