Last week, we gathered for Derby City Mission’s 2025 Annual Celebration — a special evening of thanksgiving, reflection, and hope.

The highlight of the event was hearing first-hand testimonies from those whose lives have been transformed through the work of our projects. Their courage in sharing their journeys reminded us why this mission matters so deeply.

Elle, our Director, summed it up beautifully:

“It was truly heart-warming to hear the testimonies of personal transformation from the very people that we support. For someone to share their own story is very brave and I know all the team feel humbled to be part of their journey. We are thankful that God leads us every day to help and guide us in whichever role we do here at DCM. I am so grateful to all of our volunteers and supporters as they walk alongside the team. Only together can we continue to Transform Lives.”

As part of the evening, we were delighted to launch our 2025 Annual Report, which celebrates all that God has done through Derby City Mission over the past year.
