| Eligibility Criteria | Derbyshire Agricultural Chaplaincy aims to reach out to the most isolated communities within rural Derbyshire offering a listening ear and support in difficult times. Rural Poverty Projects work in a number of ways to support people on low incomes and finding it difficult to make ends meet. We do this by supporting partnerships that help people in need and by designing projects to tackle specific issues such as Food Poverty, Financial Inclusion and Fuel poverty. Neighbourhood Planning provides support to many communities wishing to develop a Neighbourhood Development Plan. This can be by providing advice, attending meetings, delivering workshops and/or providing on-going telephone and email support. Our Suicide Awareness project works in partnership with the Derbyshire Suicide Prevention Partnership Forum to raise awareness and prevent deaths by suicide. We have been delivering suicide awareness training seminars throughout Derbyshire since 2009 The Community Buildings Advisory Service provides support and advice for community buildings and village halls. We also provide training courses on a range of topics, and organized the first of what will be an annual conference for trustees and paid staff of halls and community buildings. The Wheels to Work and Wellbeing scheme in Derbyshire, helps people from across the county access employment, training and education by providing moped loans and subsidized bicycles. |
