News & Events

This training session is for DDCVS member groups, and those groups working with children & young people in the Derbyshire Dales.

We will look at measuring the difference that your organisation or your project makes and how to meet funder requirements.

There are two identical sessions planned, on different days and at different times, in order to be as accessible as we can.

Community Resilience Grants (CRG) Scheme

Derbyshire Dales District Council has confirmed funding to continue the Community Resilience Grant Scheme.

The CRG scheme will complement and not duplicate the Better Derbyshire Dales Fund, or other public funded programs providing support to community projects which:
• Maintain key rural services or facilities
• Deliver community-led projects which will boost community/volunteering capacity to tackle locally identified challenges, enhance social inclusion, and help maintain safe and healthy communities
• Take local action on climate change to reduce carbon emissions and promote behaviour change

Update on DDCVS, May 2026 from Chair, Tim Furness

As 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.
