What a weekend!

The biggest of 'thank you's to everyone who's been involved in the 2026 Cosy Bike & Hike this weekend!

Hundreds of participants set off to tackle one of three challenges - a 107 mile cycle to Skegness, or a 13 or 20 mile walk into the Peak District.

It was all for a brilliant cause - to support children's holidays through Derby Kids' Camp and Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre.

Whether you biked, hiked, volunteered, cheered, sponsored or donated, we're incredibly grateful for your support πŸ™

There's still time to get involved and help the team meet their fundraising target here πŸ‘‰ https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/cosy-bike-and-hike-2026

The atmosphere has been buzzing at Derby Arena this morning as hundreds of participants set off on the 2026 Cosy Bike & Hike!

It's all to raise money to support us at Derby Kids' Camp and our friends at Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre and will make a real difference to local kids.

Thank you so much to you all and the best of luck today!

We're back again with the Cosy Bike & Hike!! This is a great way to get involved with both Derby Kids' Camp and Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre, both of which give children unforgettable holidays each year.

The money will be divided between both amazing causes again, with the Kids' Camp money being earmarked to help fund a new barn which will provide secure storage and upgraded utilities to support the camp.
The barn is due to be completed next summer, with the names of everyone taking part in this year's Bike and Hike event engraved into the wall as a thank you for helping raise the money (yet another reason to get involved!!).

This year, there's been a slight change to the hike, where you can choose to either do the full 20 miles to Ashbourne or complete a shorter 13 mile hike. (So no excuses!)

Once again, you could opt to cycle 107 miles to Skegness (a bit crazy to me, but to each their own).

If none of these amazing options (which also make you feel very accomplished) but still want to get involved, you can donate money through the JustGiving page (https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/cosy-bike-and-hike-2026?utm_medium=CA&utm_source=WA). Any donation would be much appreciated!!

We’re excited to be back at Derby 10k tomorrow morning with our fabulous Team DKC runners! πŸ™Œ

Not in Derby? You can help support the team by sending a donation to their fundraising page πŸ‘‰ https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/team-dkc-derby-10k-2026

Every donation is gratefully received and will help us provide more much-needed holidays for local kids this summer πŸ™

πŸ’› Fancy joining us on Camp but not in the normal Summer Camp Volunteer role?

We're looking for two cooks to join us on Week 5 (22nd - 29th August)

It's an opportunity for an incredibly rewarding week - helping provide a much-needed break for local kids - based in our fully functioning on-camp kitchen.

Our amazing cook teams feed up to 100 hungry mouths during a week of camp - and if you think you could help, we'd love to hear from you!

πŸ§‘β€πŸ³ Formal catering experience isn't required - just a willingness to get stuck in.

πŸŽͺ A well-equipped cook tent to mimic a kitchen environment - while being in the middle of a field!

πŸŽ“ Access to food hygiene training

🍴 Full menus and guidance in place, and support from the camp leader team

πŸ‘‹ Opportunity to visit during Camp Build to familiarise yourself with the kitchen and equipment
