Thanks to Alan Graves we can do fund raising via an opportunity that you can all help with!

Alan Graves: Derby’s World Champion Fighting for More Than a Title
World Middleweight Champion Alan Graves returns to Derby on 20th December 2025 at the Vaillant Live Arena — and he’s using his homecoming to make a difference.
For every share of his new video, Alan will donate £1 to the Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre (DCHC) — a charity providing seaside holidays for disadvantaged children across Derbyshire for over 130 years.
THERE’S MORE MONEY AVAILABLE AS WELL!! If the show sells out, Alan will personally add £10,000 on top of that! 👏
Let’s get behind him — as a world champion, giving back to the community that raised him.
🔗 Share, share, share!!! And share again!!! 🙏

📣 Do you run a scout or a guides group? 📣
📣 Did you know that as part of our sustainable strategy moving forwards, we are opening up our centre for low-cost weekend lettings? 📣
📣 With our new bunk beds, fully equipped games room and seaside location, we're an ideal option for anyone who wants an incredibly good value stay for a group of up to 34 children or young people plus ten leaders. (or 37 children and seven leaders). 📣
Don't take our word for it - here are some testimonials from cubs, beavers and scout groups who have enjoyed a weekend stay with us.
❓ What was the best thing about the stay?
"Seeing the kids have so much fun." 17th Burton Branston Scout group
"Location and the safety of the house." 1st Metheringham Cubs and Beavers
Some more general comments ...
"We loved our stay and can't wait to come back."
"Our scouts loved our stay at the centre and were asking if we could come back even before we left! The games room was a hit and being so close to the beach meant we enjoyed a great day out there." Branston-17th Burton Scout Group

Great news that you are back in business, it’s a fantastic venue in a great historical Seaside resort, good luck hope all exceeds expectations
Something BIG is coming… 👀
From 2–9 December, we’ll have a chance to double donations and unlock life-changing support for Derbyshire children who need a safe holiday more than ever.
Keep your eyes peeled — this could be transformational for our charity. 💛
