Following the recent flooding in parts of Derbyshire and Derby City, Foundation Derbyshire is making financial grants to households, community groups and charities that were affected.
Details...
The Foundation’s Derbyshire Flood Relief Fund began making emergency grants of £200 to eligible households on 16th November. It has now launched Phase Two, which will award larger grants to assist people whose homes or premises were damaged by flooding, community and voluntary groups, and charities.
For more information on who is eligible for support and what they can apply for, please visit their website.
The Flood Relief Fund was established by donations made in response to the Derbyshire Flood Relief Appeal, following the sudden and unexpected flooding and rain water run-off that hit communities in the Derwent Valley, the City of Derby and other dales in the north of the County in November 2019.

Details...
They will be visiting communities and attending groups, meetings, workshops and events to speak to people about their experiences of healthcare and to carry out some fun and informal activities.
If you would like them to come and speak to your group, or if there is a topic your group would like some information about (such as self-care, NHS 111, or urgent care centres), let the them know and they will be happy to come and attend a meeting or session and tailor it to your needs so it is meaningful for you.

Help Blythe House Hospicecare to keep families together this Christmas.
Details...
A mum from Dove Holes is urging local people to support their local hospice this Christmas, to help keep families like hers together over the festive period.
A few weeks before Christmas last year, Rebecca Tollerton’s husband, Mark discovered that his lung cancer had spread to his brain and that there was no cure.
The family sought help from Blythe House Hospicecare; including accessing its 24/7 Hospice at Home service where dedicated healthcare assistants provided day and night-time ‘sits’ to fit around life with children, Amelia, 8, and George, 6.
Rebecca explained: ‘Although we knew his lung cancer was advanced, nothing could have prepared us for such news. Up until that point, we had tried to keep life as normal as possible, for the sake of Amelia and George. At that moment, I felt very alone and extremely overwhelmed. It was at that point, in my absolute hour of need that Blythe House came into our lives.’
Alongside hospice care in the comfort of the family home, Blythe House was also able to provide volunteer support with shopping and gardening, as well as counselling services to help Rebecca and the children to come to terms with Mark’s prognosis.
Rebecca added: ‘Perhaps most importantly for the children, Blythe House gave us one last Christmas at home, as a family of four. Thanks to the care and support they provided, Mark was able to stay at home with us and that meant we could spend a very special Christmas together, creating important memories. That is something that my children will never forget – and I know it meant the absolute world to Mark too.
‘Mark died on 30th June this year and the loss we feel is immeasurable. But I am comforted to know that Mark received the best care, and his last Christmas was in his own home, surrounded by the people he adored.’
Since Hospice at Home started in 2016, the service has enabled over 450 people to die at home with their families and friends by their side. Providing over 33,000 hours of home care throughout the day and night across the High Peak and Hope Valley, is more than double what was originally planned because the demand for the service is so great.
Your donation this Christmas will make a huge difference to families in your local area. A donation of £50 could pay for a qualified healthcare professional from Blythe House Hospice to visit a patient at home for three hours, providing specialist medical care.
