A free Christmas party for children is returning to Merseyside.
Derry Mathews CIC Family Christmas party for children will return in December. Called “Everybody's Christmas” it is the team's biggest event yet. Derry Mathews is now asking for help to put on the party.
The party aims to make sure that children in Liverpool wake up with a present on Christmas day. The event will include a Christmas grotto, selection box, food, and a pantomime. The event will take place on December 17 at the Adelphi Hotel.

Hayley Smitton said: "Over 500 places were allocated in just over one hour. The team is working hard behind the scenes to make sure this year’s event is as good, if not better than last year's.
"Every donation goes towards making this magical experience bigger and better. The faces of the children last year will live with me forever. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help, every donation is greatly appreciated.
"Those who want to get involved can drop boxed presents off at Derry’s Fit Club, Marybone Community Centre, Fontenoy Street, L3 2BE. Alternatively, one of the team would be more than happy to come to your place of work/address to collect.
"Any local businesses who wish to make a donation can do so to Derry Mathews Academy CIC and all proceeds will go towards providing an amazing experience to all the children in attendance.
"Those who can help the team with toys, food, decorations, or entertainment please email info@derrysfitclub.co.uk as all help will be greatly appreciated."
