Duckbrook Pantry

Duckbrook Pantry Now Open

We’re excited to launch Duckbrook Pantry, a new community pantry providing affordable, dignified access to food for local residents. Operating a shop-style model, the Pantry allows members to choose the items they need at low cost, including fresh produce, cupboard staples, and household essentials. Run by Community Development Chesterfield and supported by local volunteers and partners, Duckbrook Pantry is designed to reduce food insecurity, cut waste, and strengthen community connections.

Bonsall Court Community Room

We’re pleased to announce that Bonsall Court Community Room will soon become our newest community space, to be known as CDC Community Hub (Newbold). This marks an exciting step forward for our work and our ongoing commitment to supporting local people in welcoming, accessible neighbourhood spaces.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Chesterfield Borough Council for the significant renovation work that has taken place. Their investment has transformed the space and made it possible for it to be brought back into meaningful community use. We are incredibly grateful for their support and collaboration.

Although we do not yet have access to the building, we anticipate the keys will be handed over in early 2026. Once this happens, we’ll begin preparing the space for a wide range of community-led activities, support services and opportunities for residents to connect, learn and thrive together.

CDC Community Hub (Newbold) will be developed in line with our community-first approach, shaped by local need and lived experience. We look forward to sharing more updates as we move closer to opening the doors and welcoming the Newbold community into this new hub.

Tupton Foodbank

We’re pleased to share an update on Tupton Foodbank, which continues to provide vital food support to individuals and families in the local area who are facing financial hardship.

The Foodbank remains a trusted, community-led service, offering essential food items in a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental environment. Thanks to the continued commitment of our volunteers and partners, we are able to respond flexibly to changing levels of need and ensure support reaches those who need it most.

Alongside emergency food provision, we are working to strengthen links with other local services to help people access wider support where needed. This includes signposting to advice services and exploring opportunities to develop more sustainable, longer-term food solutions that sit alongside traditional foodbank provision.

We would like to thank everyone who continues to support Tupton Foodbank — from volunteers and donors to local organisations and residents. Your generosity and dedication make a real difference in the lives of people across the community. We will continue to share updates as the service develops and as we look at future ways to expand and enhance the support available in Tupton.
