Awesome see you soon in new season ❤️❤️ xxx

Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre - such a huge milestone for our charity. Over a century of making a difference to the lives of disadvantaged children. Amazing.

📢 Are you ready to get to know another member of our team? 📢

This week, it's the turn of our long-standing trustee, Chris Walker. A linguist working for central Government, Chris became a managing director of a group of electrical retail stores in the East Midlands. He was also deputy managing director of the European-wide electrical and marketing Euronics Group.

❓ Why did you get involved with the DCHC?

I was asked to help just after the reopening of the centre, following the winning of a lottery grant in the late 1980s.

❓What does your role involve?

General overview and insight of the charity finances and operating model, and of course the future vision.

❓Best moments?

Every time that I see a smile on the face of an underprivileged child.

❓Best thing about Skegness?

The generous support and friendliness of the local population, shown to us consistently over many years.

❓Coast or countryside?

Coast.
