Festive treats for trust clients
Derby Telegraph
|January 01, 2026
KIND-HEARTED employees at a legal firm helped give once homeless residents at a Derby-based housing trust a merrier Christmas after creating festive gift boxes.
-
Staff at Shacklocks, which has branches in Belper, Allestree and Mansfield, came together to create boxes filled with goodies to give residents facing a lonely Christmas some festive cheer.
The firm of solicitors has been donating to Derventio Housing Trust every Christmas since 2017, saying they would like to benefit an organisation helping people in the local area.
Derventio is a community interest company, providing accommodation to around 1,200 people every year who would otherwise be homeless.
It operates in five UK counties and is currently housing more than 200 people in Derby and around 150 more in wider Derbyshire, along with around 150 in Staffordshire.

KNOWN at one time as Derby’s “biggest eyesore” and referred to on one occasion as “the carbuncle of the city”, Duckworth Square has certainly looked a bit neater, not quite so rundown and not like the place time forgot in the last couple years, thanks to the development of the Vaillant Arena and the Condor apartment building nearby.
