The DERBY TUESDAY CLUB comes under the umbrella of SPANNED - supporting people with additional needs in the Nottingham Diocese. The SPANNED website can be accessed by clicking here (Link opens in a new window).

We meet on alternate Tuesdays in term time from 7.30-9.00pm in the Parish Centre. All are welcome!

We are always so thankful for the facilities provided for us by the Parish and the generosity of our many friends that, to say 'Thank you' we frequently try to contribute to events in the parish and elsewhere.

Our activities have included support for Operation Christmas Child, in which we fill shoeboxes with gifts to children mainly in Eastern Europe who otherwise would receive nothing at Christmas. We have had a stall in recent times at the parish Christmas Fairs, and have participated in the Mickleover Nativity, which we hope will promote the Tuesday Club in Mickleover.  At present most of our members come from other parts of Derby. 

We also collect plastic bottle tops. Donna and Dean are the most prolific and each meeting turn up with bags full of them.  At present the tops go to France sent by post by our great friends at Mount St Mary's School at Spinkhill or taken by car. The tops fund all sorts of facilities for people with disabilities from wheelchairs to stair lifts to showers. The organisation also has the backing of the bank Credit Mutuel. We have since discovered two possible places in England for using tops for charitable purposes so in future we may split them three ways.
