Wigan Warriors unveil charity third kit warm-up jersey in support of Derian House
Wigan Warriors have unveiled their charity third kit warm-up jersey, in support of Derian House Children’s Hospice.
Following the announcement of the club’s 2026 charity partnership, Holly’s Kit, in association with Derian House, has sold quickly, with extremely limited stock now remaining.
Matt Peet’s side will wear Holly’s Kit for the first time against Toulouse Olympique this weekend, and will don their warm-up jersey as they prepare for the Round Four match in the south of France.
The warm-up jersey, which is made up of drawings from young people and staff members at Derian House, is a striking shirt with a special meaning attached. During an exclusive workshop last year, the young designers shared their ideas, favourite colours, sketches and personal stories, weaving pieces of themselves into a jersey that reflects both the spirit of the hospice and their own individuality, before Warriors stars Adam Keighran and Harry Smith recently visited to reveal the final design in person.
The vibrant kit, in dark green, is filled with personality and will be worn by the Warriors squad during warm-ups throughout the 2026 season, giving the young people a chance to see their ideas brought to life on the pitch.
“This kit perfectly sums up what this club is about – community, trust and giving back,” said Warriors chief executive Kris Radlinski.
"It’s about fans standing with families, celebrating creativity, and showing support in a tangible way – and seeing the young designers’ work on the pitch will be absolutely inspiring.”
Derian House currently supports 58 children and families from the Wigan area and more than 400 across the North West, providing specialist respite, palliative and end-of-life care, as well as emotional and practical support for families at no cost.
"Everyone at Derian House has a story, and our young people have put their hearts and souls – and lots of creativity – into this project,” said Karen Edwards OBE, chief executive of Derian House.
"Seeing their designs come to life is incredible, and wearing it makes you feel part of something bigger.
“Fans who pick up a shirt aren’t just buying a kit – they’re supporting these young people and the amazing work Derian House does.”
