100 days until Christmas... and itโ€™s back! ๐ŸŽ„

Our Reverse Advent Calendar 2025 launches on Friday 7th November – a chance for our community to come together and make a real difference this winter.

Instead of opening doors to find chocolates, fill a box with essential food and household items, one each day. By the time donations are due on Friday 5th December, you’ll have a collection ready to support families across Derby.

Last year, the kindness was incredible. This year, we’re once again partnering with Derby County Community Trust and Derby County to spread hope and warmth across the city.

Download your free Reverse Advent Calendar pack, get your box ready, and join us in making Christmas brighter for those who need it most. 

Reverse Advent Calendar runs:

  • Fri 7th November – Mon 1st December 2025
  • Donations in by Fri 5th December

Not able to take part? A full box costs around £30 – you can still help by donating online (ref: RAC2025) or joining our Squid Army.
