White ribbons tied around our boundary fence in memory of those closest to us who we have lost due to Covid-19.

Whilst this is a small gesture, we are hoping that it will bring our Danville family together and let everyone know that they are not alone in this pandemic and there are always people to support them along the way.

We would like to invite our Durban North Community to join us in mourning their loved ones. We encourage you to come and collect a white ribbon from Bonnie at our main entrance anytime on Monday to Friday between 6.30am and 5.00pm, write the name of the person/family you are mourning or simple leave it blank. Tie the ribbon on our fence and leave it there in honour of those affected by Covid-19.
