Fund raising for the Open Centre
The money side of things
It costs about £75,000 a year to run the Open Centre which is a very tightly run ship - our costs are primarily salaries and office overheads.
Until 2011 we received grants totalling £46,000 from Derby City and Derbyshire councils. These grants have been stopped because of the financial crisis.
The only other source of income we have are the charges we make for our services.
We therefore need to find additional funds to make up the massive loss in grants.
Please contact us if you can provide funds or if you can help with fund raising.
Volunteers and community specialists
We are always looking for volunteers or for part time (hourly paid) community specialists to lead visits and to give workshops and talks.
Could you put together an interesting walk round the Normanton/Peartree area and lead small groups on a visit?

Are you a member of a local community willing to lead visits to places of worship?
Do you have a skill (cooking, dancing, singing, anything) that represents the background of any of our local communities?
We provide full training and get you CRB checked - so why not contact us and come along for a chat?
