Make a difference every month

One-off donations are wonderful, but regular monthly gifts are what truly keep our doors open and the children’s laughter ringing through our Holiday Centre.

By setting up a monthly donation, you’re not just giving once — you’re standing with Derbyshire’s children all year round. Every month, your support helps us plan ahead, provide stability, and make sure that more children living in difficult financial circumstances, recovering from trauma or bereavement, needing respite as young carers, or needing a boost to their wellbeing, can enjoy the seaside holiday they deserve.

  • £32 a month could help fund the cost of a whole holiday for a child over the year.

  • £15 a month could help cover meals, transport and activities for a child during their stay.

  • £5 a month could help us to fund special extras like ice creams and treats to put more smiles on more faces.

Regular donations give us the confidence to plan more holidays, support more families, and ensure that the magic of childhood isn’t lost to hardship.

💚 Please consider setting up a monthly donation today and become part of the reason a child smiles, plays, and makes memories that will last a lifetime.

🌊 135 Years of Changing Children’s Lives 🌊

For 135 years, Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre has been helping children discover the joy, freedom and wonder of a seaside holiday.

Since 1891, thousands of Derbyshire children facing poverty, family difficulties, bereavement, caring responsibilities, disability, or other challenges have been given the opportunity to escape their everyday worries and enjoy a few precious days by the sea.

This isn’t just about holidays. It’s about hope, joy, and belonging for the children who need it most.

Every donation takes us one step closer to our comeback.

👉 Donate now and be part of our return.
👉 Fundraise with us – every act of kindness helps.
👉 Partner with us – schools, businesses, and supporters welcome.

Together, let’s bring back the holidays. Today, that mission is just as important as it was 135 years ago.

Let’s bring back the magic.
