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.

๐Ÿ“ข Are you ready to get to know another member of our team? ๐Ÿ“ข

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.

โ“ 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.

โ“What does your role involve?

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

โ“Best moments?

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

โ“Best thing about Skegness?

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

โ“Coast or countryside?

Coast.

Well done Chris for all your support to such a worthy cause.

โšฝ Can you spare 90 minutes to make a BIG difference? โšฝ

Weโ€™re looking for friendly volunteers to help us collect donations outside Derby County FC before the match on
๐Ÿ“… Saturday 14 February

All we need is 90 minutes of your time to:
๐Ÿ˜Š Smile
๐Ÿ’ฌ Say hello
๐Ÿ’ท Ask for donations
โค๏ธ Help us smash last yearโ€™s amazing total of ยฃ1,900

The more collectors we have, the more we raise โ€” and every pound helps us provide seaside holidays for children who need them most.

While we canโ€™t offer free match tickets, the atmosphere outside Pride Park is always brilliant, and itโ€™s a really uplifting way to support a local charity.

๐Ÿ‘‰ If you can help (or want to know more), please comment below or drop us a message.
Bring a friend if you like โ€” the more the merrier!

Thank you for helping us turn matchday energy into life-changing opportunities for children.
