🌟 Gina has been out and about in Killamarsh again, spreading the word about Micro Grants in North East Derbyshire! 🌟

Huge thank you to Killamarsh Active and Alex from Killamarsh Parish Council for making her so welcome.

Micro Grants can help turn great ideas into action, supporting initiatives that bring people together, tackle isolation and strengthen community connections. 🤝

It was wonderful to be part of our recent Feeling Connected social, where the focus was on slowing down, taking time for our wellbeing and creating opportunities to make new connections. 🌿✨

The atmosphere was full of positivity, with everyone keen to meet new people, share ideas, offer support and learn from one another. It was a lovely reminder of how valuable it is to take a step back from our busy lives, spend time together and build meaningful connections.

Thank you to everyone who came along and contributed to such a welcoming and uplifting social. Your openness, enthusiasm and willingness to connect made it a really special occasion. 💙

Here’s to more opportunities to support one another and grow together as a community! 🤝

💪 Making a Difference

This is why grassroots organisations matter. The impact isn’t always easy to measure. Sometimes it’s a new friendship, sometimes it’s confidence. Sometimes it’s support at exactly the right moment. Sometimes it’s simply knowing that there is somewhere you can go and people will welcome you.

That’s why having the Feeling Connected Hub right in the heart of Chesterfield matters.

🌈 Celebrating the Staveley Rainbow Network! 🌈

We’re delighted to celebrate the newly formed Rainbow Network and the wonderful work they are beginning in their community! 💜

A big thank you to everyone who gave Helen such a warm welcome when she visited to present them with a cheque for the microgrant we recently awarded them.

We’re proud to support local groups who are bringing people together, creating connections and helping to make our communities more inclusive, welcoming and connected. 🏳️‍🌈

We can’t wait to see how the Staveley Rainbow Network grows and the positive difference they make. Every new connection matters, and we’re excited to be part of their journey.

Here’s to community, connection, belonging and being proud of who we are! 💖
