Join Us in Making a Difference: The Comeback Appeal 2026

For over 130 years, we’ve been offering children the chance to create cherished memories, build confidence, and enjoy the magic of a seaside break. These holidays provide so much more than fun—they offer a vital boost to the well-being of children who need it most. But rising costs have been no secret and so we have taken the decision to pause holidays at our centre in 2025, with the aim of coming back bigger and stronger in 2026.

So the goal of our 'Comeback Appeal' is to raise £150,000 to bring back our life-changing holidays to disadvantaged children in Derbyshire and spread joy and hope to even more children in 2026.

This year, we need your help to make this possible. By contributing to The Comeback Appeal, you’ll be helping us bring sunshine back into the lives of children who might not otherwise experience a holiday.

Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to giving these children the gift of happiness, hope, and unforgettable memories.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support for this cause that means so much to all of us. Together, we can make 2026 a year to remember for Derbyshire’s children.

Let’s make the comeback stronger than ever.

About the charity

We have been offering children a free holiday to Skegness since 1891. Our centre provides a secure, cosy, and exciting environment for children. Children are nominated to us for a wide variety of reasons, such as financial struggles, respite care, recovery from trauma, or support with well-being.
