Leyland Trucks' charity arm, Helping Hand, donated £3,000 to Derian House Children's Hospice, including Christmas gifts for the children and families. They also supported the hospice's #SayMyChildsName campaign with personalized stamps for bereaved families.
Helping Hand, the charity arm of Leyland Trucks, has donated £3,000 to Derian House Children’s Hospice, including Christmas gifts. The donation was made possible thanks to a donation from DAF dealership Ford & Slater, which was directed to the hospice following a unanimous vote by Leyland Trucks’ Helping Hand Committee. Helping Hand used the funds to bring joy to the hospice’s young residents and their families.
Colleagues from Leyland Trucks hand-delivered hundreds of gifts from Derian House’s Christmas Wish List, including chocolate selection boxes, board games, fidget toys, and worry dolls. These thoughtful presents are sure to spread the magic of Christmas throughout the hospice. Beyond the festive gifts, Helping Hand partnered with Derian House’s Wellbeing & Play and Sibling Support teams to contribute to their #SayMyChildsName campaign. A portion of the donation will cover the creation and delivery of 100 free personalised stamps for bereaved families, featuring their child’s initials. This compassionate initiative allows parents to include their child’s memory in Christmas cards – a touching gesture at an emotionally-charged time of year. Derian House provides vital respite and end-of-life care for more than 400 babies, children, and young people annually, relying on community support to meet its £6 million yearly operating costs. The donation marks the continuation of a longstanding relationship between Helping Hand and Derian House. Over the years, Helping Hand has raised funds through events such as Linking Leyland; a summer fundraising tradition that strengthens community ties
