.Ashgate Hospicecare, Blythe House Hospicecare and Helen's Trust have become a critical part of the fight against coronavirus as they strive to care for as many patients as possible and ease the pressure on the NHS. By taking additional patients from local hospitals they are helping the NHS to care for the rising numbers of people who are seriously unwell with the virus.

As expected, the current situation has resulted in unprecedented levels of demand on our three charities due to the pressures of this outbreak. Now more than ever before they need our continued help and support!

Our Business Club members have come together again and we are asking staff, customers, friends and families to make a donation to the value of one weekly treat you currently are not able to enjoy, for example your usual first drink at the pub, a cinema ticket, coffee and cake etc! (Minimum suggested donation £3).

All donations of over £3 will be entered into a draw, with fantastic prizes donated by one of our amazing Business Club members. Our first prize is your choice of afternoon tea for 6 or Sunday Roast for 6, kindly donated by The Merchant's Yard Bar & Restaurant in Tideswell.

Every penny we receive continues to go directly to our three amazing charities and rest assured you could not be supporting them at a greater time of need.

If you would like to enter the prize draw for free, please email events@challengederbyshire.org.uk, but we hope that you will consider supporting our fantastic charities at their time of need
