Making it easier to
bring people together

We provide vital support for community-led initiatives that help to reduce loneliness and isolation across Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire.

We get that starting something often takes courage, creativity and resilience
- not just money. 

Our support extends beyond a grant payment.  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.
