⛳ A big thank you to the Peak District Christian Golf Society!

We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to the Peak District Christian Golf Society and their Captain, Mike Coates, for choosing Valley CiDS as their charity for 2025–2026 and raising £400 to support our work with children and young people.

Our CEO, Ian Tannahill, had the privilege of attending their annual Presentation Dinner at Shirland Golf Club, where he received a warm welcome and had the opportunity to thank members in person for their generosity. Ian also appreciated the chance to speak at the event and share more about the work of Valley CiDS.

We are delighted that Mike will continue as Captain for the next season and has kindly chosen Valley CiDS as their charity once again. We feel very fortunate to have their continued support and are incredibly grateful for their generosity.

Thank you to Mike and everyone at the society for helping us invest in the next generation!

National Mentoring Day

Sometimes, having someone who listens, offers encouragement and believes in you can make all the difference.

At Blend Youth Project, our trained youth workers provide tailored mentoring to help young people build confidence, improve their emotional wellbeing, develop resilience and navigate challenges at home, at school and with their relationships.

Every young person deserves to feel supported and to have the opportunity to reach their potential.

This National Mentoring Day, read Megan’s story to discover more about the difference mentoring can make.

🎉 We’re delighted to officially open OUTLET by Lighthouse in Matlock today!
Bringing a fresh take on clearance shopping, OUTLET by Lighthouse makes pre-loved fashion accessible to more people, with every item just £2. That means you can put together a whole outfit for less than £10, while giving clothes a new lease of life. 💚
The wet weather couldn’t dampen the celebrations! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us today, including the Mayor of Matlock, Ashley Orwin, and County Councillor Sue Burfoot, who helped cut the ribbon. It was lovely to see so many customers joining in the celebrations too. A special thank you also goes to the fantastic pupils from St Joseph’s Catholic Academy and Mrs Webster, Assistant Head Teacher, for being part of our opening.
If you haven’t visited us yet, why not pop in, have a browse and discover something special?
