Update on Merger discussions between High Peak CVS and the Bureau in Glossop.
Details...
Nigel Caldwell General Manager of High Peak CVS wants to bring everyone up to date with the position regarding the proposed merger discussions that have been taking place between High Peak CVS and the Bureau over the past few months.
The two charities have, as you will be aware, been considering merger. However, after a number of meetings and in-depth discussions we have jointly concluded that alternative options for cooperation, short of full merger, are in the better interests of both organisations and the communities they support.
High Peak CVS remains committed to providing high quality support to the voluntary and community sector in High Peak now and in the future. We are continuing to review the most effective way of delivering that support and will be mindful of the needs of the sector in these more challenging times.

Find out what advice and support is available for older people in Derbyshire:
- Leaflets and resources
- Free refreshments
- Signposting and information
It is hoped to be able to speak to members of the public and provide lots of information around the variety of support and initiatives available for older people to access in Derbyshire. We are focussing on all safeguarding issues that may affect older people but in particular financial abuse as it is also Scams Awareness Month in June. Staff supporting the event will be wearing something purple as this is the colour theme chosen by the Charity ‘Action for Elder Abuse’ as it reflects royalty; how elderly people should be treated.
