I'm raising £1000 for our community hub, we did a 7k sponsored walk on 23July and raise some funds and we will be keeping the page open for a year to raise funds towards moving to a new premises which we are currently looking for.

We have had a very busy time during the first two years, firstly establishing ourselves, seeing what works and what doesn't

The men's club was not very successful but those men that did attend now join us anyway so no one is lost.

Kayleigh's Therapy session's have been very successful.

We have taken part in a free course at Chesterfield beauty academy.

Both myself & Dave have taken the chair based exercise course with Age UK & we both passed, so we can teach chair based activities.

Fundraising took some time for me to get my head round but with some help from Jon at linkscvs and lots of patience I finally got there.

We have yoga & chair based exercises.

We make paper flowers and handmade cards which we sell to raise money for the hub.

We have been visiting other hubs and enjoying other people's company and experiences by using community transportation & we even did a trip to London to the Old Vic Theatre to see a Christmas Carol. We go to the market twice a month and go out for a hub meal locally every two months.

Jason from Rykneld has attended to help out with computer and phone technology.

Jude from Rykneld has helped with a few different things but mainly showed me how to use spreadsheets so I can keep our books up to date.

We have had the animal zoo visit the hub, which was incredible and everyone had a fantastic time.

Derbyshire Carers, local mental health teams, social prescribers, occupational therapist, Citizens Advice & the Living Well team visit regularly.

We have raised money for dementia, the hub and competed in race for life as a hub & we continue to fundraise for ourselves.

We had a big party for the Kings Coronation and had so much fun, we have a Christmas Party every year and have a singer, Christmas Carols and a buffet.

We now have outside chairs, tables and games which we can use when the weather is good.

Our members have taken part in an air fryer course.

I would like to thank every one of our members and our volunteers who have helped out and how without all of us working together this hub would not be possible.

The group has grown so much and we are looking forward to what's ahead.
