An Interest In Place-Based Action

Create Change Chesterfield was recently featured in the RSA Journal. This issue of the journal had a focus on place-based action. Create Change Chesterfield is a project led by Clare Gage FRSA. It aims to create a community of changemakers in Chesterfield to support positive action in the town. The project began with a community event held in March 2019 supported by The RSA. Following on from this there were 2 more events with a forth planned for March 2020 which was cancelled due to the coronavirus lockdown. I launched Create Change Chesterfield driven by a personal hope to create a positive change in our world. I wanted to reach out to others to talk about how we could all create change in our own way.

At the heart will be a commitment to collaboration and a creative response to building confidence in our abilities to #CreateChange It’s wonderful to have already found great collaborators with Community Chesterfield and Derbyshire Voluntary Action. We’re now ready to establish more support for this project. We’ll be looking for partners in #chesterfield...

Create Change Chesterfield- A sustainable plan for delivery

In my previous blog post I was pleased to announce that I have begun a collaboration with Community Chesterfield part of the local charity, Derbyshire Voluntary Action . We have been busy working away, creating a vision for delivery for the Create Change Chesterfield project. It was thrilling to be able to take part in my own 'future visioning' exercise and explore both the ambitions and the practical aspects of bringing the ideas to life. Why Derbyshire Voluntary Action is the perfect home The story of Create Change Chesterfield begins with grassroots, voluntary action. (I've used this blog to capture the whole journey so feel free to browse back to the beginning, if you'd like to know more). I felt disempowered, struggling with the world around me being so far from the world I hoped to be part of. In response I held the Create Change events and gathered a community of other people in my hometown who felt the same. We explored what it would be like to become a...
