Support is available for organisations in South Derbyshire which have been affected by coronavirus (COVID-19).

South Derbyshire District Council is administering a business support scheme which was announced by the Government earlier this month.

The Government has announced a package of support for organisations affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak - this ranges from grants and loans to Business Rate holidays and deferment of taxes. Details continue to be released and the latest information can be found via the links below.

We’re very excited to announce that Fantastic for Families is now listing online events for families.

If you have a live performance, class or workshop coming up, you can now add it to the site by logging in and visiting the My Online Events tab. As always, listing your event is completely free.

As usual, your listings will be disseminated to a wide range of partner organisations. We're working closely with all of our partners, including Netmums, In Your Area, and others, to ensure maximum exposure for your events, to reach as many families as possible.

We are a registered charity and we have currently lost all our essential, regular income streams. Dronfield Hall Barn is at the centre of the community and we provide valuable support for local people through our volunteer and events programme, work with schools and local training partners. Currently we are running a collection and delivery service to support vulnerable people and the wider community. 

As an independent charity with most of our income coming from our cafés, car parking, shop and ticket sales, we now need your support more than ever.

'In Isolation Together' is an initiative in response to the global pandemic, Covid 19. Art has always reflected the voice of people, both in times of celebration and in dire circumstances.

We know there are many people, creatives and non-creatives alike that are home either in self-isolation or quarantine.

We are delighted to announce that Her Majesty The Queen has approved the Prime Minister’s recommendation that Marketing Derby is to receive the Queen’s Award for Enterprise.

The award is in the Innovation category and reflects the organisation’s ground-breaking business model and success as the inward investment promotion agency for the city of Derby and county of Derbyshire in attracting over 5,000 new jobs and £500m of investment. 

Bondholder D2N2, the Local Enterprise Partnership, is putting its support behind the PPE4NHS campaign and asking businesses across the region to donate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the fight against Coronavirus.

In addition to widely reported shortages of PPE within the NHS, the care and charity sectors are also finding it difficult to source adequate items of PPE in order to safeguard vulnerable members of society.
