The Doe Lea Centre, is a Community and Resource Centre that provides activities and support for anybody, of any age, throughout the parish of Ault Hucknall, the wider Bolsover District and Derbyshire.
The Centre is operated by the Ault Hucknall Parish Community Association, a registered charity (no. 508572) and is run and managed by a small team of staff assisted by members of the Ault Hucknall Parish Community Management Committee and a wealth of volunteers.
Funded by Ault Hucknall Parish Council (who are the charity trustees), and supported by income from fundraising, venue hire and Centre events; the Centre staff also seek out and apply for funding from grant making bodies to provide a wide array of projects and activities throughout the year such as our Holiday Activity Days.
We work with a whole host of partner organisations to deliver and develop our community offering including Bolsover District Council and the Partnership team, Derbyshire County Council, Live & Local, StreetGames, Extreme Wheels Roadshows, Doe Lea Valley Community Partnership, Rural Action Derbyshire and many others.
The Centre is keen to grow the cultural and artistic offering of the area by hosting live shows, craft fairs, local artist exhibitions, Arts workshops and regular groups such as Craft and Chat and our music groups. We’re also working with partner organisations to create a “Cultural Corridor” from Stainsby through to Pleasely Vale offering local people and tourists the opportunity to experience the area in fun, interactive
and artistic ways.
We’re always keen to try new things, support like minded organisations and grow our offering so if you have any ideas or are looking for a home for your group then get in touch using the contact us page.
