We’re supporting the Mayor of Amber Valley’s Christmas Raffle for The Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre!
SC Travel are delighted to be joining the Mayor of Amber Valley Borough Council this Christmas in raising money for The Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre.
As a community-driven business that supports both SEND children and the wider public with safe and accessible transport, we’re always proud to contribute to local causes—especially those chosen by the Mayor that make such a positive impact across Derbyshire.
As such, we have proudly contributed £250 to the Mayor’s fundraising efforts for The Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre, in addition to donating £500 directly to charity itself.
About The Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre
Founded over 130 years ago, The Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre provides seaside holidays for children who may well otherwise never experience one. Whilst many families in the UK enjoy regular trips away across the seasons, for the children this charity supports such adventures are rare, even one-off occasions.
The holidays organised by The Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre not only offer the children, many who are young carers, with the joy of a holiday that so many of us take for granted, but also provide opportunities for them to make lifelong friends, learn new skills and explore new regions.
“We are incredibly grateful to SC Travel for their generous support. Their donation will help us give more Derbyshire children the chance to enjoy a much-needed seaside break — something many would otherwise go without. Support from local businesses like SC Travel makes such a meaningful difference, and we’re truly thankful for their kindness and commitment to helping local families.”
Janine Holmes – Chief Executive Officer of Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre
Supporting this cause means a lot to us here at SC Travel, especially as a local, family-run business. Our Director, John Connolly was delighted to meet with the Mayor of Amber Valley earlier this week to present our donation, as well as learning more about the charity and other causes we could possibly get involved in in the future.
The Mayor of Amber Valley, Cllr Steve Marshall-Clarke, said: “I’m incredibly grateful to SC Travel for their generous fundraising support and for their wider donation to The Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre. This charity is very close to my heart, and the kindness shown by SC Travel helps ensure more Derbyshire children can enjoy a much-needed holiday by the sea. Their contribution will make a real and lasting difference to young people who truly deserve a break. My sincere thanks go to the team for their generosity and community spirit.”
