Our Impact

36 Years of Transforming Lives in Derby

This year, we are celebrating 36 years of transforming lives together here in Derby! 

We want to say a heartfelt thank you to every supporter — for your prayers, generous giving, and the time and skills you share through volunteering. None of this would be possible without you.

Our mission remains the same: to see our city and its people flourish. Rooted in our Christian faith, we put love into action — meeting practical needs, sharing the gospel, and walking alongside those in crisis.

As we look back with gratitude and forward with hope, we continue to trust God’s leading and give thanks for His faithful provision.

2025 Annual Review

Our 2025 Annual Review is packed full of important stories from clients, partners and volunteers, as well as data that shows the positive impact our services have on the Derby and its people. You can read the report by clicking here. 


A message from our Chair, Nigel Town:

“Isn’t it fantastic? I look at the team here and
see how generously our God provides for us.
Yes, we are seeing rises in demands for our
services. Yes, we are growing and adapting our
provision to meet those needs. As we see these emerging needs I look at our balance sheet and it never has any spare capacity. Repeatedly we’ve taken tentative faith steps forward and then, just like the widow and the oil jars, the
resources start to arrive, just in time…in GOD’S time. As I look at the year behind us I am so taken by the way Derby City Mission represents the Christian body of Christ in our city. This is the love we have for one another that unites us in common purpose."

Elle Warrener-Davis, Managing Director

“What a year this has been. What a year this has been. More people in crisis and in need than ever are using our services and projects for help. This year has been another opportunity to see God’s hand of provision, His guidance and His will being done during this year."
