The Feeling Connected Hub
Low Pavement, Chesterfield
The Feeling Connected Hub is a space for community, dedicated to bringing people together, hosting groups and activities and a central point to find out what’s happening in local areas.
This page is the best place to find out what’s happening and what’s coming soon.
The Hub aims to be an inclusive, welcoming and friendly place for members of the public and for volunteer-led community groups. We actively support community action, social connectedness, mental health and improved wellbeing.
The Hub is the home of the Feeling Connected Project, which works across Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire to increase social connectedness and reduce isolation and loneliness.
Members of the public can use the hub to:
* Find out information about the voluntary and community sector in the local area
* Meet and talk with others
* Take part in organised activities
* Learn new skills which will help them feel more connected
​
Volunteer-led groups and community groups can use the hub for:
* Social get-togethers for their members (eg coffee mornings)Small scale activities that enhance wellbeing
*Small scale exhibitions of art / crafts etc
