Derian House was in the news a total of 325 times last year, with appearances in the Independent newspaper, on BBC TV news, and even in Hello Magazine!

The majority of the national news stories about us involved our seven-year-old fundraising superstar Oscar Burrow who climbed 12 mountains to the height of Everest to raise more than £40,000 for our children and young people.

As well as attracting national news stories in more than 20 different newspapers, websites and TV news stations, Oscar received a Points of Light Award by the Prime Minister and even bagged himself a place at the Princess of Wales’ Christmas carol concert, along with our Chief Exec Karen.

The 325 news stories about Derian House included 21 TV appearances on Granada, BBC North West Tonight and local channel That’s Lancashire. And we were on the radio 39 times.

Well done everyone for creating great news stories with our outstanding care and our epic fundraising.
