Feeling
Connected
Making it easier to
bring people together
We provide vital support for community-led ideas that help to reduce loneliness and isolation across Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire.
We understand that starting something often takes courage, creativity and resilience
- not just money.
Our support is not just about grant payments.
We help to develop amazing people so they can make a real difference in their neighbourhoods.
We offer funding, mentoring and more, for people who want to organise something that brings people together where they live.
BRING YOUR IDEAS
TO LIFE
With FREE support from Feeling Connected
Funding
Our Micro Grants are easy to apply for so anyone can get started.
Use the money to organise something fun, informal and easy to organise.
Our grants are for individual residents or tiny teams of friends/neighbours who want to make a difference in their community.
There's no need to become a formal group with a committee, constitution or separate bank account.
Mentoring
Get individual support, advice and encouragement from one of our experienced Community Development workers.
Our tailored guidance helps you get ready and get started; finding what works for you, your idea and your community.
