Derbyshire County Council is proposing cuts to discretionary
funding. This means that key local charities and community
organisations which support the health and wellbeing of residents
are in danger of closure. At risk are services supporting mental
health provision, befriending and lunch clubs, day centres, funding
for community groups and important support for charities.
Thousands of people who live life with poor physical and mental
health, learning difficulties, loneliness and isolation will be
left without vital support. Particularly affected will be older
people, marginalised communities and the most vulnerable in our
society.
Please sign the petition to voice your concern for the lives of our
neighbours.
