This reserve is well known for the spectacular display of snowdrops that appear in late winter and early spring. A visit to this special site is a must to enjoy the carpet of white that appears, giving hope that warmer times are on the way and spring is just around the corner.

Strength in unity.

In a world where men often feel the need to be strong, independent, and self-reliant, who supports the supporter?

Mentell believes that your strength lies in your willingness to show vulnerability and accept the support of your fellow man along the journey.

Whether it's dealing with personal struggles, pursuing our passions, or facing life's challenges, a brotherhood provides strength and resilience.

When we lift one another up, we magnify our achievements and help soften the blows. A men's circle is a space where everyone can thrive, regardless of race, religion, or sexuality.

So, let's continue to support, encourage, and uplift one another.

The circle is calling you.

Need to warm up this winter?

With the rising cost of energy, keeping warm at home isn’t always easy. You are not alone.

Across Derbyshire, there are Warm Spaces you can visit for free, to enjoy a hot drink, have a chat and stay warm for a while.

These spaces are welcoming, friendly and open to everyone. Sometimes a warm brew and a bit of company can make all the difference.
