🍁 It's time for another of our big thank you posts! 🍁
This week we're welcoming some young guests over half term and they have had a brilliant time carving and having free tractor rides courtesy of the generous team at Bells Pumpkin Patch in Boston.
Bells staff have shown our children such kindness this week.
We took our children to this magnificent pumpkin patch in groups over two days and let them know a bit about our charity.
We told them all about how we help by providing holidays for children in need of a break.
The response was amazing.
Not only did they give a tractor ride to all the children.
They also provided all the children with pumpkins and a carving kit to create their best designs!
AND £5 each for all the children to spend in the gift shop.
Kirsty Holmes who's looking after children this week says:
"Every staff member was so so lovely and beyond welcoming it made the whole trip.
"Myself and Kerry both got emotional at the generosity as they couldn’t have been happier to help the kids out."
THANK YOU to everyone at Bells who have made this holiday so special for our guests.
Your generosity hasn't just made their week that bit more extra special.
We know from adults who attended our centre as children that generosity like this really echoes down the years.
Bells - you may have provided memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you so much. Happy pumpkin season!

A wonderful evening celebrating generosity and community spirit!
A huge thank you to Erewash Rotary for their generous £1,000 donation to Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre, helping us give more local children the chance to enjoy a seaside holiday and make happy memories.
It was inspiring to hear about the fantastic charities and dedicated volunteers making a difference in our communities. An incredible £18,000 was donated in total last night — a wonderful example of the great work Rotary does!
A special thank you to Paul Burrows for putting DCHC forward. We’re so grateful for your support.
Thank you to everyone at Erewash Rotary for a lovely evening and for helping so many good causes. 👏

🍁 Who wants cheering up on this wet Autumn day? 🍁
On days like these, it's important for us all to remember the good times we had over the summer.
And for hundreds of children across Derbyshire, that's exactly what we give them each year.
Just a great week at our centre in Skegness.
We'll leave you with this lovely comment from a staff member in one of the Derbyshire schools we support.
"It was lovely to hear about his trip to the beach and how much he had enjoyed it - he said that it was a trip of a lifetime!"
