Massive thanks to Barratt and David Wilson Homes for their very generous donation £25,000 which we plan to put towards a new veranda and upgrading an old caravan 💙💛

Just a little story from Troy Smith

We walked on the Derwent Valley Heritage way, which follows the Derwent from Ladybower to Shardlow, but finished at pride Park with Ben being a Derby fan.

We had a bus paid for by Belfield to take us to Ladybower for 0730 to start the first 25 miles to Matlock, the second 25 was Matlock to Derby.
Everyone on the walk paid to stay overnight at Matlock. Most of the walkers were from full power fitness. We have hammered social media for weeks with posts leading up to the walk. So far we have raised over 3k, but expect more to 4k by the time all monies are in.

Darren got us access to the stadium for the finish which made it very emotional

A great, but hard weekend with a great bunch of people

Raised so far is a brilliant £6,056 xx

Thank you very much for your support and allowing Ben’s Den to work the way we intended it to! We expect cancellations and last minute bookings, that’s the way the families have to work. Sometimes the plans don’t go to plan…1 cancellation due to being back in hospital and 3 families having to end their holidays early all in one weekend. It’s not how we want it, but this is the way it works and your amazing support makes it work! 💙💛

Darren,  Tracey and the team.

Cannot thank you enough, we’ve just got back from the best week at Tattershall Country Park, what a beautiful relaxing family holiday. Such a beautiful setting and the caravan is just amazing, so comfortable and clean and perfect view and close to everything. We’ve some hospital investigations coming up next week so this last week has been just what we needed. Already planning next year and couldn’t do it without you and Bens Den xx ❤️ xx

Thank you to Tracey and all at Ben’s Den we have had a fun packed Easter weekend at Tattershall Lakes. The caravan is perfect and in a great location we got to watch the jet skis on the lake from the balcony! This was the perfect weekend after Cohen’s treatment finished and recently having his Hickman line removed meant this was the first time he could go swimming without a dry suit.
Thank you again we all had the best time 🥰💙🎗

Thank you Kim Jordan & Friends for organising the quiz. Thanks to all the quizzers for raising £514 💙💛 A great night ☺

A massive £6000 raised for Ben’s den which is absolutely unbelievable.

A fantastic end to end game with a fair result of 2-2, the rematch is going to a be movie.

A massive credit to the lads who represented Knight&Co on Friday night they gave it there all and created memories that will last forever.

A big shoutout to @officaldons for making the trip up and making this all happen and what they do for charity’s all over the country we will see you again for the rematch boys.🤝

We would also like to thank our matchday sponsors: advance roofing, Mitchell’s flooring and trippin. We really couldn’t of done it without your support.

Thank you to frosty and the rest of the team down at Ilkeston FC who trusted us and let us take over the new manor ground and give it our own twist.

Thanks to will Holmes and the match officials who let us use there services for free for the cause 💙

A big thanks to the team at the market Ilkeston for a fantastic after party 🎉

Finally thanks to everyone who came down to support this is just the start of Knight&Co FC

We are a lot more than just a barbershop.

Since hearing about Ben’s Den in a beach bar in Cuba in 2016 Jackie and Craig have sent a cheque for £50 (usually money Jackie receives for her birthday) .
We really appreciate your generosity and are extremely thankful xx

Jason and Emma Smith recently got married at Pride Park Stadium,  instead of receiving gifts they asked for donations which would be split between two charities close to their Hearts 💙💛.

Thank you so much to Jason & Emma for your generous donation of £200.00 xx.
