Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre
Giving Derbyshire Children A Break
Your challenge. Their seaside adventure.
Run or walk for Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre and give children facing challenging circumstances something wonderful to look forward to.
Since 1891, we’ve provided free seaside holidays for children aged 6–11 from Derby and Derbyshire. Our four-night breaks in Skegness include transport, meals, activities and care—at no cost to families.
From young carers to children experiencing hardship, we offer the chance to play, explore and simply be a child.
Choose an event that suits you. Every pace is welcome.
How Your Support Helps
£380 funds one child’s holiday. Every donation helps towards that goal.
Your fundraising builds confidence, independence and friendships that last beyond the trip.
“She loved every minute of it, making new memories, friends, and becoming more independent.” — Parent
“This holiday was something I am unable to do for them and they are so happy they went.” — Parent
“All the children that have the opportunity for this holiday come back to school with positive feedback.” — School leader
Give your supporters a clear goal: £380 to make this possible for one child.
