Community donations
A huge thank you to the local businesses that supported us over the Christmas period providing donations of gifts for our families. Thank you to Dunelm Derby and the support of their customers who purchased gifts, John Sisk and Sons contractors for their generous donations and also Derek’s Tree Burton-on-Trent and everyone who contributed to their gift collection. We are so grateful for this and it enabled us to give gifts to all of the children we’re currently supporting.
