News & Developments

The young people (13-21yrs old) will:

• Develop their research and facilitation skills
• Give other children and young people a voice 
• Explore their own and others’ experiences of public services
• Work with a panel of experts to create proposals for change that are as rigorous as possible and as radical as necessary
• Become, if they choose, active campaigners for the vision they create

Leaders Unlocked are very keen to make sure the project involves young people from different backgrounds and a wide range of life experiences. They want to hear from young people who have been affected by different issues and challenges – including (but not limited to) care experience, migration, poverty, experience of hospital stays, being a carer, living in different forms of housing, alternative education, special educational needs and disabilities.

Cyber security is an important issue for all charities and voluntary organisations using IT because they generally hold sensitive personal data on donors, volunteers or service users. 

These events are for any group using online processes to administer their organisation. There are lots of simple steps you can take to improve your online safety and reduce your risk of becoming a victim of cybercrime.

RAD is hosting three events around Derbyshire; each event will cover: 

Why Cyber Security is important - Tracy Coates, Senior Community Safety Officer, Derbyshire County Council 

How to protect your group online – Jodie Nevin, Cyber Protect Officer, Derbyshire Constabulary 

Digital Marketing - Emma Simpson, Marketing & Communications Officer, RAD  

Online Data Protection (GDPR) - Helena Stubbs, Community Buildings Officer, RAD 

Cyber security is any strategy, processes, practices or technologies that organisations have in place to secure their networks, computers or other devices, and the data they hold, from damage, attack or unauthorised access. 

Hathersage Memorial Hall - Thur 19 Sep          9.30am – 12.30pm

The art sale and auction raises money for Macmillan Cancer Support and the Rural Agricultural Benevolent Institute (RABI).  These two charities were chosen as they had supported a local family who had sadly lost a much loved wife and mum to cancer. The Derbyshire Agricultural Chaplaincy organised the successful first event which is now in its third year.

The two featured artists this year are Lesley Griggs and Felicity Jackson, both local Derbyshire artists who are delighted to support this great event.

A painting from Lesley Griggs is being auctioned to the highest bidder. Silent bids are now being taken, so if you would like to buy this beautiful, original painting of Milldale please contact Alan Griggs on 07710 088972 or by email a.griggs@ruralactionderbyshire.org.uk.  Bids must be received by 2.00pm on the day of the auction. The painting will be on display at the event, along with many other paintings and cards from the featured artists.
