We would love to know how you found out about Dereks Tree?

For me, 13 years ago my eldest son was put on the tree by our support worker. I was a 17 year old mum living on my own with my son and had very little money left over after rent and the bills. One day our support worker came round with the most amazing cars and garage set from mothercare. She told me that it was brought by a special person who took my sons tag off Dereks Tree. To this day i remember how overly grateful I was that someone was so generous and kind. That they brought my son a gift without knowing him. I remember him opening it on christmas day, his face lit up and he was so so happy. I will forever be grateful to that person.
Fast forward 13 years i'm now vice chair of Dereks Tree. I wanted to give back for that special gift as i know how much it means to the child and also their parents.

Each gift on our tree and on our wishlist is a smile on a childs face on christmas day, a parent feeling relieved that their child has something to open on christmas day. And each person who helps by donating a gift makes that happen. From all the children on our tags and their families and the dereks tree team i want to say thankyou, we couldnt do it without every single one of you.

Todays wonderful gifts! Thankyou so much! 🎁

Just under 1900 children on the list already!

112 gifts brought off the wishlist so far, we are so grateful to everyone who has contributed so far. It means one more local child wakes up with a smile on their face christmas day. The child in a domestic abuse refuge, the child who is leaving care and has no one but themselves, the child whos parents are suffering from the rising cost of living. Every gift makes a massive difference.

Please share our wishlist around so we can make sure for another year running every child receives a gift on our list. Thankyou 🎁
