Here is another week showcasing the return of our Sitting in Landscape project after its summer break. The project is funded by Arts Council England.

This previous time was when the project visited Shining Cliff Woods in Derbyshire.

Located near Cromford, Shining Cliff is ancient woodland that’s now community owned. It was once part of the royal hunting forest of Duffield Frith and is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

A well-known legend has it that the nursery rhyme Rock-a-bye Baby relates to a local character in the late 18th century, Betty Kenny who lived in a huge yew tree in Shining Cliff Woods – now known as the "Betty Kenny Tree".

Making ourselves at home in the Beech Hut we’d hired, artist and sculptor @Ruth Lewis-Jones introduced the group to rubbings, using graphite pencils on long pieces of white paper, that were subsequently displayed outside the hut.

After lunch, we explored the woods – keeping a keen eye out for Betty, taking photographs of the natural features such as fungi and bees, and foraging textured items from this new environment for the further graphite rubbings.

Sitting in the Landscape is intended to improve mental health, engage participants in the arts and to promote the work of Growing Lives and Derventio Housing Trust. It also promotes group working and allows participants to share skills and life experiences.

Thank you to Arts Council England for your support.

We want to say a big thank you to Erewash Voluntary Action for awarding a £1,500 grant through the Erewash Social Connect Fund.

This grant will be a massive help to us at Derventio Housing Trust. Our Growing Lives project gives people the opportunity to take part in a range of different activities - from building a bike to gardening. This funding will mean we can buy much-needed new workshop and gardening tools, helping us to continue building on the opportunities and experiences we can offer at Growing Lives.

Thank you, again Erewash Voluntary Action, for your support!

We recently joined Derby Cathedral in hosting the city’s first Faith In Housing event.

The event brought organisations together who work with people who are experiencing homelessness in Derby.

The aim of the event was to generate discussions between organisations on how they can work together to target the proportion of funding that has been pledged to Derby following Andy Burnham’s announcement on ending rough sleeping.

Thank you to everyone who attended the event. Click below to read the full article.
