Generous Derbyshire folk show heart-warming support for charities over the years in 11 retro photos

Derbyshire people have responded to the harrowing sight of Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Russian invasion of their country by organising collections of vital goods, raising money and taking deliveries to Poland.

Our county’s residents are always magnificently supportive of those in crisis around the world, whether it be survivors of a tsunami in Sri Lanka, a cyclone in Bangladesh, an earthquake in Haiti or children living in an area of the Soviet Union contaminated by a nuclear power plant accident in the Eighties.

Derbyshire folk also stay true to the adage that charity begins at home in their support of good causes in this country.

Here are pictures from our archives showing just how kind-hearted the wonderful people of Derbyshire are.
