About Us

The Chesterfield Cultural Education Partnership seeks to address the inequalities to opportunities children, young people and the wider community face when accessing Arts and Culture in Staveley and the wider Chesterfield and Derbyshire Area.

The forming of the Chesterfield Cultural Education Partnership (CEP) is in response to the Arts Council England’s Cultural Education Challenge

We aim to have an impact across the whole of the community, by ensuring that every person has access to a life which is creative, healthy and rich in culture.

Our activities raise aspirations and empower people to learn new skills, take ownership, make positive changes and promote a healthy lifestyle for mind and body.

The Chesterfield CEP is led by Community Growth CIC, which formed out of Growth Activities Ltd. 

Communtity Growth previously worked with The Mighty Creatives on the Locally Based Partnership Programme, through which many partnerships were established which this CEP builds upon and co-production methods were used.

This learning is at the core of the Partnerships’ programing and  runs throughout the arts and cultural activities which the CEP designs.
