ABOUT US

Community Development Chesterfield (CDC) is a registered charity under registration number 1206790. We began as a community group called Rother Active Youth (RAY Club) which was formed in 2014 which was founded by Cllr Jenny Flood of the Rother Ward. In the summer of 2023, the RAY Club was handed over to Dan and Grace, a young ambitious couple who had just moved into the area. The couple had big plans to develop the club and for it to become a full time youth group. October 2023, Dan and Grace began the charity application for the group. They had a new idea to adapt the club to reach out to the wider community of Chesterfield including all ages...

​

February 2024, this idea became reality when the club officially became a registered charity, Community Development Chesterfield. This was followed by Dan and Grace becoming the new lease holders for the CDC Cosy Hub, S402SW. This is now the main office for CDC.

Running under CDC is Cosy Cubs Toddler Group, RAY Club and CDC Community Coffee Morning. We also now have a partnership with Tupton foodbank where we support them in what they do and vice versa.
