Who are we?

We're a registered charity (1206790) who aim to enhance the lives of the community of Chesterfield.

We are Community Development Chesterfield (CDC), we took over The Rother Active Youth Club (The RAY Club) in the January  of 2024. We work with a fabulous group of positive volunteers who help us provide the younger Community of Chesterfield with the vital experiences they deserve. Children have so much to offer to the world - we believe in the power that they hold, and know that they will mold future generations to come. At CDC, we are here to give them the support they need in order to shape them into leaders of the future. We have a number of educational sessions and leadership initiatives that help nurture our youth and help them develop the skills they will carry throughout their lives.

Our Cosy Cubs - Stay and Play block 4 is now live 2025! We begin the session with a singing circle where parents and their little ones join in with cheerful melodies. Afterwards, everyone is free to enjoy a range of engaging activities designed to stimulate young minds and encourage creativity. From rice tuff trays to exciting storytelling corners, there is something for every curious cub. As the last block came to a close, families left with smiles, looking forward to the next gathering at Our Cosy Cubs - a place where friendships blossom and memories are made.

What People Say

Harmony, 2024

I started going to The Ray Club about 1 year ago when my Mum came across it on social media. My first trip was the Markeaton Park and we had a great day out! I attend Youth Club at the Cosy Hub on a Tuesday evening and this is my favourite session to go to! I enjoy the activities the leaders provide and making new friends! When I'm here I feel safe and respected. They provide a hot meal which is a bonus.I also volunteered with the club for my Duke Of Edinburgh Award. They made me feel welcome and part of the team. I'm already looking forward to many more days out and fun activities! The Ray Club plays a big part in my school holidays as it gets me out the house and something to do! Most of all it is free!

Sara, 2024

Charlotte, 2025

I am the first employee of Community Development Chesterfield. Being a part of this charity has allowed me to balance my work life with home responsibilities. CDC does incredible work, and I am truly grateful to be a part of it. Every day presents new opportunities to make a meaningful impact in our community. Whether it's organising local events, supporting families in need, or collaborating with other organisations to enhance community resources, I am constantly inspired by the dedication and compassion of my colleagues and volunteers. It's fulfilling to see the positive changes we are able to bring about together, and it motivates me to continue striving for a brighter future for everyone we serve. The sense of camaraderie and shared purpose here is unparalleled, making every effort worthwhile.
