Main MenuAs some of you know, Martin Townsend has stepped down as Chair of Derbyshire Dales CVS, but we are delighted that he will continue to support the organisation as a trustee. I would personally like to thank him for his commitment and leadership over the past ten years.
As I step into the role of Chair, I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself and to share a little about the work of the CVS and the priorities we are focusing on over the coming year.
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.
Grants of up to £5,000 are available for community-based projects that support the emotional wellbeing of children and young people, with a focus on early intervention, prevention and alignment with the THRIVE Framework.
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.
We are pleased to confirm that the Better Derbyshire Dales Fund is now open!
As usual we will have quarterly rounds, with closing dates below:
Derbyshire Dales District Council led the project in partnership with Community Benefit Society Hurst Farm Wild Works and the opening follows completion of the capital works led by regional contractor G F Tomlinson in October last year.
The project is part of a wider initiative formed by partner organisations to support the physical and mental wellbeing of its residents and making Hurst Farm a better place to live, work and visit. In 2017 Derbyshire Dales District Council alongside Derbyshire CVS, The Friends of Hurst Farm and Platform Housing joined forces to apply for funding.
