Dottee Dolls

Click here – to book with a donation. IMPORTANT INFORMATION These sessions are part funded with the remaining costs supported by a pay-what-you-can-afford donation at the time of booking. If you’ve booked but can no longer attend, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your place to someone else. Crafty Wellbeing and Connections is a gentle, creative Thursday morning session designed to help you unwind, meet others and enjoy the simple joy of making. Each week you’ll explore accessible craft activities in a relaxed, friendly space where you can slow down, switch off and reconnect with yourself and the people around you. These gentle, no‑pressure sessions are perfect whether you’re completely new to crafting or simply looking for a mindful pause in your week. They offer space to learn, experiment and enjoy being part of a caring, creative community. By the end of the morning, you’ll leave with your very own beatiful handmade dottee doll, a sense of achievement and the warm feeling that comes from spending time with others in a positive, creative environment. Everyone is welcome, just bring yourself and an openness to explore. Thank you to Foundation Derbyshire, Erewash Small Grants by Erewash Voluntary Action and our wonderful volunteers for helping make these sessions possible. Their support allows us to create a safe, nurturing and creative space for all.

Transformed Youth Group (Yr 7-9)

Hey all, Welcome to Youth Together, this is a great group where we have all ages from Year 7 to Year 13. This is a time in the week where we can have some together, be social in games, eat food together, worship, discuss and look at God's Word. In these sessions we look to encourage and build one another up by sometimes having some of the older ones take the lead on certain activities. This happens every Thursday in term time from 6:45 to 8:15 pm. Every half term we have a social, switching between off-site socials (like going bowling) and on-site ones (like games evenings). Come along and join us, we would love to meet you. If you have any questions, please

Open Air Theatre: Pinocchio

A wooden puppet runs away, hoping to find fun and adventure, but instead finds demanding bosses, con-artists and peer-pressure. Bombarded by money, games and other attention-grabbing attractions, how can Pinocchio ever become a real boy when even lies told to cover up awkward truths are as plain as the nose on his face?
