So it's many thanks to @EastMidRailway and @DerbyDaybreak. The Rotary Club of Derby Daybreak came up with the idea to help out the asylum seekers being accommodated in the Midland Hotel. They're still in need of any unwanted clothes, shoes, toys etc.

We’re supporting Rotary @DerbyDaybreak with their clothing drive for asylum seekers staying at the Midland Hotel. They are especially short of men's clothing. They also need toys. Please contact our President Elect Les Bryan at captaindad00@gmail.com and he will collect.

Dave Laughlin, Rotary member of six years, was touched by the work of @CHICKScharity, and decided that he wanted to support a charity that benefitted children and a charity that would appreciate funding from Rotary. #PeopleOfAction rotarygbi.org/chicks/
