News & Developments

A stall is a great way to share your message with members of the public. This year the OWF are inviting charities, campaign groups, other non-commercial organisations, and representatives from the local business community. There will also be a 'Conversation Tent' and you are invited to book a slot if you want to give a short talk or demonstration to a small group of people.

As the festival is free to the public and funded entirely by fund raising& activities, grants and donations, all stall holders are asked to make a contribution, collected on the day, towards the One World Festival's costs. Organisations run entirely by volunteers usually contribute at least £5 and those with paid staff upwards of £10.

It would be good if you could think of an activity for your stall, perhaps linked to the UN Global Goals, that would engage with festival goers. One idea is for a scavenger hunt involving people finding links to different goals on different stalls, if you would like to be involved in this please let us know.

The Discovery Foundation will provide grants to support knowledge, skills and innovation to give disadvantaged people the confidence to discover and create a new world of opportunities. The Foundation's previous three grants schemes have been combined into a single new scheme called Discovery Grants making it simpler to apply for funding.

Discovery Grants of up to £5,000 are available to UK Registered Charities, Community Interest Companies and Credit Unions to fund local projects helping disadvantaged people. Read more on the Discovery Grants page.

Part of a two-year training programme which Derbyshire Mental Health Forum (DMHF) started in November 2015 this course will develop knowledge, understanding, attitudes and skills about mental health.

 The training is aimed at people who work in customer facing roles that bring them into contact with people experiencing mental health problems, but who are not mental health specialist workers e.g. libraries, leisure centres, housing, benefit advisors. Each course will have a mix of participants from different agencies.

The one-day course is funded by Derbyshire County Council and Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Groups and is available to anyone working or volunteering in Derbyshire, including Derby City.

For further information please email: MHA@dmhf.org.uk
