We are The CDC Group. In January 2024, we proudly took over The Rother Active Youth Club (The RAY Club), building on its legacy while expanding our wider mission to support children, families and communities across Chesterfield.

​

At CDC, our work goes far beyond activities alone. With the support of an incredible team of dedicated volunteers and staff, we create safe, inclusive spaces where young people are supported emotionally, socially and practically. We believe children and young people are not just the future, they are a powerful part of the present, with voices, talents and potential that deserve to be nurtured.

​

Our programmes provide far more than entertainment. We deliver educational sessions, leadership development, wellbeing support and positive role modelling, alongside opportunities to build confidence, resilience and a sense of belonging. Through structured activities and real-life skill building, we help young people develop the tools they will carry with them throughout their lives.

​

Importantly, our youth services sit within a wider community framework. We work holistically with families and local communities to reduce isolation, address inequality and ensure children grow up feeling supported, valued and empowered. Everything we do is rooted in compassion, lived experience and a belief that when communities are supported properly, young people thrive.

​

At CDC, we don’t just support young people, we help build stronger communities, nurture future leaders and create lasting change.
