Goods range from cleaning products, toiletries, clothes, toys and a range of other items that can be used to:

• Give to people you support 
• Clean and maintain facilities
• Fill goody bags for events

Items are all new and good quality but may be short dated, have slight defects in the packaging or branding.  Charities register online, for free, and order products via an online catalogue. 

Although not a traditional funder, In Kind Direct helps charities to save money on everyday essential items. Charities can then use the money they save for other more important projects/outgoings.

Charities pay a small handling charge for the service. This helps contribute towards the costs of running a warehouse, staff, packaging and delivery. There is no extra charge for delivery. Registration is free!

Organisations interested can apply for a grant (up to a maximum of £40,000) to deliver substance misuse recovery outcomes in Derbyshire (usually aimed at people who are exiting drug and alcohol treatment services).

They will  have 4 weeks to complete the application form in full and return it - the deadline will be Friday 30 June 2017 at midday.

DCC are piloting a service that enables people who use British Sign Language (BSL) to use an online interpreter and set up a three-way conversation with their staff.

Called SignLive, it connects people who are deaf or hard of hearing with a SignLive interpreter via video, who then rings us on a special number and assists in the conversation. The service is available from Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm.

This means that deaf and hard of hearing people in Derbyshire can now contact DCC and seek assistance without the need to pre-book an interpreter.

To use the service, you will need:

• A PC or Mac that runs Windows and has a webcam
• A modern browser, such as Google Chrome or Safari. Windows version 8 or 9 can be used but will need a plug-in
• Bandwidth of at least 256Kbps upload and download (384Kbps recommended).
