Our holiday season has ended this year and it's time to reflect.

We're so proud of what we've achieved in 2026.

This year - thanks to generous support from so many people - we have:

☀️ Provided 128 holidays

☀️ Had referrals from 26 schools from all over Derby and Derbyshire

That's as well as a whole host of other activity which we'll share with you over the coming weeks.

That's a lot of very happy children.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who has helped make it happen.

Next year - we want to make even more children smile.

Because a holiday isn't just a holiday for the children we help. It makes memories that last a lifetime.

Our holiday season has ended this year and its time to reflect.

Because a holiday isnt just a holiday for the children we help. It makes memories that last a lifetime.

Last week we popped into the Derby Market Hall to meet up with Stuart Boon who was there supporting the Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre and raising funds for holidays for disadvantaged children of Derbyshire.

Whilst we were there, we met with the stallholders at Doreen's and Eden. We were delighted to hear their stories on various topics and even more delighted to be handed over one of our infamous Yellow Tins.

Across the city we have several of these placed with various shops, stalls, ice cream vans and activity locations. Having replaced the full tin at Doreen's and Eden with a fresh one we were absolutely bowled over to bank £81.29 from the contents of the tin!

Thanks go to Doreen's and Eden, and of course their wonderful customers who have given so generously to our charity. This money will make such a difference to us in delivering 5 day holidays to children aged between 6-11 years old.

If you'd like to join us by hosting a tin then please let us know, contact us by email at [email protected] or give us a call on 07961 236833 and help to make a difference.

Thank you.
