• The Colin Bloomfield Sun Safe Campaign

  To mark ten years since our presenter Colin Bloomfield died from melanoma skin cancer, we're trying to make Derbyshire and East Staffordshire some of the most sun safe places in the country.

  We're continuing Colin’s legacy of educating people young and old to stay safe in the sun. We're doing this by helping to make schools Sun Safe and teaching people about how to check their skin.

• Our Guinness World record attempt

  Our appeal has seen 2,500 blankets distributed to those who most need them this winter.

  As a way of marking this fantastic achievement, and thanking those involved, we were successful to getting into the Guiness World Record Book for the most people crocheting simultaneously.

  960 people took part at Derby Arena in February.

  Thank - you and well done.
