Most of DSC's revenue comes from fee-collection however DSC does try to run social events, not only to raise funds but also to let your hair down! The main events are usually a fun day, and the Annual Presentation evening where the trophies for the club championships are awarded. Other events include games afternoons and running a float in the Dagenham Town Show. Sweet sales and occasional raffles are undertaken to try to raise funds.

The Jack Petchey Foundation, established in 1999, gives grants to programmes and projects that benefit young people aged 11 - 25. The Foundation is eager to help young people take advantage of opportunities and play their full part in society.

By nominating outstanding members of the Club, DSC can receive awards of £300 every couple of months! The awards mean the club can purchase equipment that we couldn't otherwise afford! Thank you JP, and well done to all our swimmers who have won awards.
