Marie & Becc coordinate the collection of items donated to the Red Cross. On the first Sunday of the month, they collect from around 25 doorsteps across the area, making this an incredibly convenient way to donate. It is then taken into the Derby Red Cross office before being distributed to vulnerable people living in Derby.

If you prefer, you can drop your donation off to 11 Wheeldon Ave. If you are on the regular collection list, please label the bag with your name so the team know not to call by at yours this month.

They ask for a range of basic food stuffs, including fresh fruit and veg. Toiletries are also welcome. Please make sure your bag is marked as containing fresh produce - or tell the person collecting it.

If you’d like to donate items to help vulnerable people in Derby, pop a note into 11 Wheeldon Ave or email in with your contact details.
