Our previous projects

The most up-to-date information on what we're up to is available on our 'Forging Futures' Facebook group.

At the brilliant (and free!) Belper Goes Green Festival on 3rd/4th June 2017, we worked with a number of local women to provide a community 'hub' stall where we brought together lots of fabulous local people and information about wellbeing-related services. We provided creative crafts and a forum to discuss what was important to our local community. We had taster sessions provided by local practitioners, a discussion circle where people could meet others and talk about our community needs and potential solutions in a safe space and encouraged as many visitors as possible to contribute to what turned out to be an impressively long 'gratitude bunting' showing all the things that the people of our community were grateful for.

Young women from the pilot group also got involved by providing music and helping massively with encouraging people to think about what they loved about their lives.
