Great news for schools and families across Derbyshire and beyond!
We’re delighted to share that Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre is now offering low-cost school residential stays at our much-loved seaside centre in Skegness.
As featured in the Derby Telegraph, schools can now book 2-night or 4-night residentials at a price that makes trips to the seaside far more accessible for children who might otherwise miss out.
✔ Affordable alternative to commercial providers
✔ All meals included
✔ Supportive, child-centred environment
✔ Ideal for wellbeing, confidence and friendship-building
For many children, this could be their first ever stay by the sea 💙

Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre - excellent news, it’ll be a fantastic opportunity for schools and their pupils to enjoy cost effective breaks from day to day life. It’s a marvellous facility which offers young people the chance to unwind; from interactive games to crafting and beach activities. What’s not to love?
A slightly different post today as all of us at the Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre want to wish a happy 60th wedding anniversary to two of our most beloved fundraisers, David Harris and Ann Harris. Both are deservedly ambassadors for the charity.

You’re both treasured and have been so generous over the years you’ve been involved with the charity; today we say thanks to you both, and wish you a happy new year for 2026!
Many congratulations on achieving this milestone of a Diamond wedding anniversary, here’s to many more years ahead.

Congratulations on your 60th Wedding Anniversary Ann & David 🥂🎉
Happy anniversary David & Ann,all the very best to you both
As we sign off for Christmas, we want to say the biggest thank you to everyone who has supported Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre this year!
It’s been a big year for us — a year of change, careful planning, and laying strong foundations for the future. Because of your kindness, encouragement and generosity, we are heading into 2026 with real hope.
Next year, children will once again:
* Enjoy holidays at the seaside
* Feel safe, cared for and valued
* And help us celebrate our 135th anniversary this June!
From all of us at DCHC, thank you for being part of our story. We couldn’t do this without you.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a hopeful New Year ✨

Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre Janine Holmes and all that have worked so hard in 2025, thank you for everything you’ve done. It’s so exciting to see that 2026 is lined up to be an amazing transitional year not only for our charity but also for the 230+ children that will be back again, making friends, making memories and embracing fun for 5 days in Skegness. 😄
You're all brilliant and hard working thank you for everything you do for the kids wishing you all the best for 2026 I will be popping in next season 😊 🎅🎄🎊🎉🎁🥳 ❤️❤️ xxxx

🥊 What a night of boxing in Derby!
Last night at Vaillant Live, Alan Graves delivered a superb performance against David Kerkmann, securing his 6th undefeated victory with a second-round knockout.
We’re incredibly grateful to Alan for his continued support of Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre. His commitment goes well beyond the ring, and we’re looking forward to sharing more news in January about a very generous donation.
A special thank you as well for Alan’s support of local veterans, who were given free tickets to enjoy the event — a thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture.
The evening also featured a strong line-up of local, up-and-coming boxers, building the atmosphere throughout the night and showcasing the depth of boxing talent here in Derby.
A fantastic event, a great crowd, and a brilliant example of sport bringing the community together 👏
