More than £1,800 has been raised by the Rotary Club of Derby through its Trees of Light appeal. The campaign – supported by the Derby Telegraph – urged people to sponsor the city's Christmas lights. Representatives from charities chosen to benefit from the appeal were among those collecting donations from the club at Derbyshire County Cricket Club. Pictured, from left, are Olivia Dean, of the Padley Group; Sarah Hernandez, the Mayor of Derby's consort; Mayor Lisa Higginbottom; Tim Wherly, club president; Heather Russo, of Enthusiasm; and Bill Tomlinson, of the Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre in Skegness.
