Meet our Centre Manager – Ali Byerley
Hi there! I’m Ali, and I’m so happy to welcome you to Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre!
I know that coming somewhere new can feel a little bit scary, but don’t worry—you’re going to have the best time ever! From the moment you step inside, this is your holiday home, and we’re all here to make sure you feel happy, safe, and ready for an amazing adventure.
There’s so much to look forward to—playing on the beach, exploring Skegness, making new friends, and having loads of fun! You’ll get to try new things, laugh a lot, and enjoy some really tasty meals (including yummy fish and chips by the sea!).
If you ever have a question or just need a little reassurance, I’m always here for you—along with our brilliant team, who can’t wait to get to know you.
So, take a deep breath, pop your bag down, and get ready for a brilliant holiday—because here, you belong, and this is your time to shine!
I can’t wait to see you smile! 😊

Meet Our CEO – Janine Stillwell
Hello, I’m Janine Stillwell, CEO of Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre. It’s a privilege to lead such a brilliant charity, and my goal is to make it even better and stronger so it can continue its amazing work for another 130 years!
I trained as a teacher over 30 years ago and spent nearly a decade as a headteacher. My passion has always been ensuring children have the opportunity to widen their horizons and, most importantly, have fun. That’s why I love being part of DCHC – we give children experiences they’ll never forget.
When I’m not working, I’m usually kept busy by my three grown-up children or my rescue dog, Ruby, who often joins me in the office.
If you have any questions about the charity, I’m your point of contact – I’d love to hear from you!
Janine
Chief Executive Officer
