“Derby County
Saved My Life”
Jon works for Derby County Community Trust as a
coach, running some of our most successful sessions
across various departments, and is a valuable asset and
representation of what we do.
We met Jon in 2011 when he was referred to our Active
Choices programme. At the time, he had been addicted to
heroin for 12 years, was homeless, and had no hopes or
aspirations.
Through the Trust, he reconnected with football, and began
to strive in an environment which he could achieve in. He
quickly took on opportunities to gain nationally recognised
qualifications and carve out a career for himself in sport.
He now has a family and a young son who are a testament We are hugely proud to call him a part of Derby County
to his willpower and determination to beat his demons and Community Trust, and with your help, we could help
grow as an individual. save more people like Jon.

The Derby 10K is the biggest mass participation event in the city
and sees thousands of runners take to the streets every April,
hoping to achieve a personal best, raise money for charity, or
simply just to take part in something special!
The race has been running in the city since 2000, originally
organised by Sporting Futures, a charity who worked with
disadvantaged young people across Derbyshire and became part of
the Trust’s umbrella when the charities merged in 2017.
The race starts and finishes at the iconic Pride Park Stadium,
heading into the city centre and covering Derby’s most iconic
landmarks including the Cathedral, Guildhall and Silk Mill amongst
others.

Run For DCCT
For the first time at the Derby 10K 2019, there’s the option to run for Derby County Community Trust
and join our dedicated team.
Runners will receive a training plan and fundraising ideas, and receive a half price entry when they
pledge to raise £100 for the Trust.
That money could help us to achieve so many fantastic things, from school’s equipment to funding
activities for our Down’s Syndrome Active participants.

What fundraising
has achieved
At this year’s Derby County Community Trust annual charity This was the fourth time the teams had faced each other
cricket match, we saw an amazing £2000 raised on a sunny for the Colin Bloomfield Charity Cricket Cup, which after
July afternoon. a tight start saw the Derby County Allstars claim the
victory to retain the trophy.
A group of former Derby County players took part in the
match at Spondon Cricket Club – in memory of former BBC
Radio Derby presenter Colin Bloomfield.
The game saw the likes of Roger Davies, Michael Johnson,
Phil Gee, Jason Kavanagh and BBC Radio Derby’s Craig
Ramage take to the field against Spondon CC to raise funds
for the Derby County Community Trust.
The annual fundraiser, organised by Neil Bennett from
Spondon, was again a huge success with over 800 people
attending.
As well as the cricket, Derby’s mascots Rammie and
Ewie were on hand with activities for children along with
stalls around the ground and a raffle including prizes such
as signed Derby County merchandise, TV and England
memorabilia including a signed Geoff Hurst football.

Case Study
DS Active
Our DS Active football and multi sports sessions provide opportunities for participants with Down Syndrome from the
age of 5 years old. We currently have two age groups 5-12 years and 12+.
Our Adults Football Squad Represent Derby County in the DS Active National League/Cup and play competitive fixtures
against other DS Active clubs across the country including Newcastle United, QPR, Charlton, Cardiff City and West
Bromwich Albion.
One family who have attended our DS Active sessions since they started in 2013 are the Pattersons. Riley, Molly, Alice
and James all live with Down’s Syndrome and attend the sessions with their family. Riley was only five when he started
and his health at the time was deteriorating, but with the support of his family and his commitment to taking part in
sport, he is now 10, happy, healthy, still loving football and a huge Derby County fan!
As a special treat for our DS Active team we invited first team players Jack Marriott and Martyn Waghorn to attend the
session, they took part in the football game and helped the participants improve their skills, before posing for photos
and signing cards for all our players to take home.
Our DS Active team is a thriving group of players who wouldn’t necessarily get the chance to play football otherwise. We
want to support them to continue to take part in sport and realise that there are no barriers to enjoying physical activity.
Rams in Kenya Derby County Community Trust has been taking part in the Rams in Kenya trip for the past seven years. Since its first trip in 2012, the initiative has grown from 13 volunteers on the first visit to 73 on the latest. Over 300 volunteers have now taken part across the seven trips. Due to the amazing growth, the scheme now works with four partner projects, Jubilee, Ungana, Cherish and Mama Kerry schools, where work has continued from previous visits and we’ve started new partnerships too. Across the projects, volunteers spend their time funding the installation of running water, building classrooms, providing resources, supporting teachers and completing maintenance and site improvement. 7 That Derby Pride
Case Study
Clifton
On the first day of the Rams in Kenya trip in 2017,
volunteers came across Clifton, a pupil at Jubilee
Academy. Some time ago Clifton had been hit by a car,
resulting in a serious foot injury which had become badly
infected with his family being unable to afford treatment.
Despite the pain he must have been in, Clifton was still
larger than life and never stopped smiling.
After consulting with a local doctor, volunteers learned
that if the infection got much worse Clifton would only
have around six months to live.
Volunteers set up a JustGiving page in the hope of
raising £3000 to save Clifton’s life. Within just 48 hours
the page had raised close to £7000 and not only saved
Clifton’s life but saved his foot as well, which was at risk
of being amputated.
Clifton has already had his first operation which went
successfully, and he is now on the road to recovery.Fundraising Ideas
