How are we developing?

Over the last forty years we have shown we can build innovative services; we provided the first Community Transport Bus in Derbyshire and led the way with our Social Prescribing model. As we move closer to our fiftieth birthday, we will continue to ensure there are local services for people across Glossopdale developed and run by volunteers.In particular we are:

Investing In Our Volunteers

Many of our volunteers develop new skills that enable them to widen their volunteering or take on paid employment. We will continue to provide training and development opportunities to our volunteers.

Building on Partnerships

We are working closely with other local charities and groups, Derbyshire and High Peak Councils and the NHS. Together we will work to provide coordinated services for local people.

Reviewing and Developing Existing Services

We regularly review our services to check that they are still meeting local need. When new needs arise we will continue to identify new service opportunities, listening to and engaging with local people as we design and deliver services.

Pursuing New Opportunities

As a charity we actively seek ways of bringing in funding to support the people of Glossopdale. As funding mechanisms change, we will ensure we are involved in discussions around new opportunities and bring resources to support the growth of local voluntary groups.

During the life of this strategy The Bureau will continue to be a place where local people can come to seek or offer help to support people in Glossopdale to live their lives in the best way they can.
