Main MenuWe’re pleased to share that DDCVS will be hosting a series of new online ‘Spotlight’ talks and networking sessions this year, with the first event planned for 24th February 2026.
We’re planning three events across the year – February, June and November – replacing the previous monthly Spotlight meetings.
Derbyshire County Council is seeking a wide range of views on how we can make the service more flexible, sustainable, and impactful ensuring it meets the needs of Derbyshire communities and helps people achieve and progress.
Recent changes to funding and evolving community needs give us an opportunity to review how we operate, increase learner numbers, and ensure those who need the most support can gain qualifications to help them move forward.
Thank you to all DDCVS Member groups that took part in our recent questionnaire!
We received 83 responses out of 233 members, giving us a 36% response rate. This provides us with a solid set of data to build on and ensures that your voices are well represented.

As you may know most Council for Voluntary Service in the UK are membership organisations, and Derbyshire Dales CVS is no different.
Our staff and trustees have been looking at our membership offer over the last few months and discussing several questions such as whether DDCVS should charge for Membership, and whether we should offer advice to organisations that are not Members.
