Derian Ambassadors

“In 2012 Neil decided to raise money for Derian House in memory of his friend’s son.  He promised himself that each year he would do something to raise money for children and families who need that extra support and, over the last 6 years, has walked and cycled hundreds of miles in all kinds of weather.

“This on its own is amazing, but Neil has also managed to spread the word about Derian House and encourage thousands of local people to join him on these events, raising over £60,000 to help support the children and families we care for here at Derain House Children’s Hospice.

“Neil is a great ambassador for Derian House, raising awareness of our work and having lots of fun in the process. He is most well-known for the annual Jingle All The Way Santa walk but Neil’s support of Derian House lasts all year round. He definitely puts the FUN in fundraising.”
