Lotto help for Shirebrook

Derbyshire Coalition for Inclusive Living (DCIL) has been awarded five years' funding thanks to the Big Lottery, to further develop its mentoring project for disabled people

The project is open to all disabled people whether they have physical or sensory impairments, learning difficulties or mental health issues.
