Main MenuForget-me-nots social groups are welcoming new members, offering fun, friendship and support to people with dementia and their friends and families. Recent sessions have included music, nature and indoor bowls and we have been invited to visit Chatsworth Gardens as part of their work with the local community.
Meetings are monthly from 2-4pm:
• 1st Wednesday at Bakewell Methodist Church
• 3rd Wednesday at Hathersage Memorial Hall
• 4TH Wednesday is a local walk and café stop.
The Civil Society Group, together with UK Finance and large high street banks, has developed the Voluntary Organisation Banking Guide, a web hub that will launch soon.
Please respond to their survey to share your experiences of banking as part of a voluntary organisation or community group. Your story will help the Civil Society Group to continue to advocate for better banking services for voluntary organisations.
Yes – Paperwork – even in our digital world!

At DDCVS we can help!
If you just need your papers printed and copied…we can do that.
As you may know most Council for Voluntary Service in the UK are membership organisations, and Derbyshire Dales CVS is no different.
Our staff and trustees have been looking at our membership offer over the last few months and discussing several questions such as whether DDCVS should charge for Membership, and whether we should offer advice to organisations that are not Members.
Derbyshire County Council Public Health has commissioned Derbyshire Dales CVS to lead the development of work to reduce loneliness and isolation in our Derbyshire Dales communities.
People may experience loneliness and isolation at any stage of their life, and it may be dependent on circumstances.
How you can get involved in supporting Social Connectedness in the Dales
A rural village hall has replaced its ninety-year-old floor thanks to a generous grant from the Better Derbyshire Dales Fund.
The floor at Cubley Village Hall – also known as The Mary Clowes Hall – was in a very poor state of repair and investigations revealed that a complete replacement was the only option. Initial estimates placed the cost in excess of £10,000, and the trustees submitted bids for a number of grants, including to the Better Derbyshire Dales Fund, administered by ourselves.
