A NEW Minibus for Kids' Camp! - sept 07

Derby Kids' Camp this summer became the very lucky recipient of a new minibus thanks to one of our volunteers!
Summer Camp volunteer and founder of Ripples Educational Trust - Peter Ellse - has sponsored the much-needed vehicle for DKC, which replaces our long suffering, 'more mature' minibus which has now been 'retired'!!

Chairman Chris Edwards (left), pictured handing over the keys to equipment officer Nick Thomas, said: "It's so nice that one of our volunteers has done this. We'd like to place on record our sincere thanks to Peter for his enormous support, helping to ensure continuing free holidays for some of Derby's most deserving children."

Peter Ellse said: "From childhood, what remains when you're older are the big memories such as holidays. I've never seen a child who doesn't look as though they're having the time of their lives.
"The enormous level of hard work, energy and fun put in by both committee behind the scenes and the merry band of volunteers is truly impressive. For that reason we have identified Derby Kids' Camp as a good home for the funding of their new minibus."

Huge thanks to Peter - the new minibus is fantastic - it looks great and has gears, brakes and everything!!

The new DKC 17-seat minibus has now also been made available at a significantly reduced rate for other charities, schools and social support organisations. Please contact Michelle Parrish on T:0115 8771095 or E:info@derbykidscamp.co.uk for booking information.
