Update: Never in a million years did we think we could raise anything like this amount of money for our chosen charity in what we know has been a really hard year for all families! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for showing such love and generosity to others who might find themselves in need at this time. We wish you a very Merry Christmas from all the children and staff at Denby Free.

We need your help!
​Hope for Belper Advent Appeal

We have given a lot of thought as to whether to run our Reverse Advent Calendar this year. We really do appreciate what a hard year this has been for everyone but some families in the local area really are in desperate need this Christmas and as a school community, we cannot look the other way. Please, please can we ask you to give what you can throughout Advent to ease the suffering of others. Can there be a better way to celebrate Christmas than to know that, through your generosity, a child may not go hungry?

If every family in school can donate £1 we would raise nearly £100! Our chosen charity, the Hope for Belper Food Bank would be thrilled with a donation like that. Maybe some families can spare a little more...perhaps the children can think of some creative ways to earn a few pence to add to the total? Anything you can spare would be truly amazing!
I will update the running total every evening for you and the children to see. Let's try and turn the fortune of some families around this Christmas!
Thank you
