The Dales Local Integration Group, funded by Derbyshire County Council Public Health, is pleased to announce that the Children and Young People Emotional Wellbeing Small Grants are now open for applications.

Derbyshire Dales CVS Social Connectedness invites everyone – residents, volunteers, community groups and local organisations – to Community Connections Online, a free, online event that shows how projects are helping to close the digital gap and how helping people get online also brings people together, reduces loneliness and builds stronger local networks.
