The team at Hays Travel Ilkeston will be swapping brochures for boots next month as they take on a charity walk to raise money for Derbyshire Mind.
On Sunday 22 March 2026, the whole branch team will walk the East Midlands Airport Trail in support of the local mental health charity.
Derbyshire Mind is an independent mental health and wellbeing charity affiliated with Mind nationally. While part of the wider network, it works locally across Derbyshire to provide support tailored to the needs of communities in our area.
The Ilkeston-based travel team say they are proud to be raising money for a cause that makes a real difference to people across the county.
Cash donations can be made in branch, where a collection bucket will be available. Supporters can also donate online via the team’s JustGiving page.
Mental health services continue to face high demand, and initiatives like this help fund vital support, advice and community programmes for those who need it most.

Ilkeston News wishes the team the very best for the walk – and fair weather on the day.
