MORE ABOUT DDCVS
A Potted History
Derbyshire Dales CVS was set up in 2001 with core funding from what was then the Community Fund. Derbyshire Dales District Council offered us three rooms – in lieu of funding - in the District Council Offices on Bath Street in Bakewell and we employed 2 half time Chief Officers, 1 full-time Development Worker and 1 full-time Support Services Worker.
At November 2008 we employ 10 members of staff (7 full-time equivalent) covering our core functions – that is to support voluntary and community activity across the Derbyshire Dales – as well as specific projects around advice and support for children, young people and families, managing a small grant scheme for health related projects and an access project for young people and women. Our main office is at the Agriculturul Business Centre in Bakewell and we have an outreach base with the Volunteer Centre Derbyshire Dales, at Ashbourne. Our Community Development Worker and Health Trainer are based at the Children's Centre at in Matlock.
DDCVS is an independent Charity (number 1093087) and a Company Limited by Guarantee (Company number 4428280). The organisation is managed by a voluntary management committee who currently meet 5 times a year in Bakewell. There is a Finance and Development sub-committee of the Management Committee who meet a further 5 times a year.
