Help us to help shape a shared community and co-working space for Chesterfield.
Community organisations have told us that a newly created flexible community and co-working space in the centre of Chesterfield that supports, promotes and empowers the local VCSE sector, is needed. This shared space could provide offices for partners and VCSE groups, workshops, consultations, meeting and training spaces, a community café, activity spaces, and play space for families as well as space for arts and creativity focusing on health and well-being promotion.
Sustainability and resilience for organisations will be supported through sharing costs and risks as well as providing opportunities for new income streams. Our collective will bring greater influence and power for the VCSE and enable creativity, innovation, and new collaborations to help us all weather the current political and financial storm. The space will be established as an open-door for policy and decision makers to link with and learn how to best serve our local community.
We need you to co-create this space with us, to meet the needs of as many organisations as possible - so please help us by answering the following questions.
