We’re delighted to launch Derbyshire Grants, a new partnership between Derbyshire Voluntary Action and HW Martin, supporting local organisations and schools to make a positive difference to Derbyshire’s environment. HW Martin manages Derbyshire’s Household Waste Recycling Centres on behalf of Derbyshire County Council. Its dedicated reuse shops give items another life rather than allowing them to go to waste. Profits generated through the Bolsover Reuse Shop are now being reinvested into Derbyshire communities through this new grant programme.
A Peak District village is celebrating the remarkable history of a church that began life as a blacksmith’s workshop by making it the centrepiece of its annual well dressing.
Visitors are invited to Foolow between Saturday 29 August-6 September 2026 to see the village’s annual well dressing, enjoy homemade cakes and refreshments, explore the village’s history and help raise funds to preserve the historic St Hugh’s Church.
DDCVS Member, Go Beyond is looking for Residential Break Volunteers to support children aged 8–13 who are facing serious challenges in their lives.
