Description

We welcome you to YMCA Derbyshire.

We have been at the heart of the community in Derbyshire since 1847. While the scope of our work has changed considerably over the years, our vision hasn't.

Our holistic development in body, mind and spirit and our mission to break down barriers to achievement and help local people to fulfil their potential has remained our constant purpose.

Every year, we support over 300 individuals in our housing provision, enabling them to grow their confidence and move into education, training, employment and into independent living.

Alongside this we provide a whole host of youth and community services including our own community gardens.

We also provide training and education to 150 young people each year who find mainstream education more difficult, as well as high-quality childcare within our community.

Our team works hard to provide as much care and support for those who need it most, every day we make a difference.

The project will be delivered in collaboration with Cromford Mill, the Museum of Making and Derbyshire Wildlife Trust.

The project aims to explore key heritage sites and conservation sites in Derby and Derbyshire looking at the employment opportunities linked to these in the past and present.
