For the purpose of this small grant scheme, the role of Links CVS is to provide guidance and support to Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups in Derbyshire in completing the application form. 

The objective of this grant is to enable local voluntary and community groups and organisations to improve or extend their work supporting Derby and Derbyshire residents aged 18 plus to maintain good mental health.

Grants can be used for a defined ‘one off’ project. All funds need to be spent and evaluations completed by 31st March 2025. Groups will need to provide evidence of how the grant has been spent and it’s impact on local residents.

Carers drop-in event

The Equality and Diversity Forum are working on plans for a Carers Drop-in event which will be held on Tuesday 12th November at Grace Chapel, New Square, 10am to 2pm.

The purpose of the day will be to connect with carers and those who might not see themselves as a carer, but who look after a family member, friend or neighbour with a long term illness or disability. There will be an opportunity for them to meet local groups who will be there to provide information, support and signposting on matters such as benefit entitlement and support for carers, whilst enjoying some refreshments.

If you are part of a support / community group and would like to come along to talk to the carers who pop in about what you can do to help, please let me know.  There will be plenty of space if you would like to bring along any leaflets etc.
