OUR IMPACT
We are striving to protect the environment and reduce the direct environmental impact of our operations. As part of this, we have launched the "Recycle Your Fashion" initiative to breathe new life into your old clothes.How does it work?
1 - Simply drop your pre-loved items off at our Guest Services.
2 - All the items collected are either donated to those in need or recycled.
3 - As a thank you, you will receive 10% off for your next visit to the centre.
As part of our climate action, we have nature houses in centre, a biodigester, rainwater harvester, and more!

Our new herb garden
Inviting guests to help themselves to our herb garden.
Our biodigester
Aiding our food recycling and waste management. Between January and July 2024, we diverted 16 tonnes of waste from landfill.

OUR COMMUNITIES
This year we have partnered with a range of local organisations to support the vital work they do, help them to raise funds and bring about further awareness within our community.
South Normanton Community Group is our charity of the year, and we've also partnered with Chesterfield Pride, Next Door Dance Company, The Book Bus and the Mobile Health Unit. Our team also volunteer in the local community and have:
- Litterpicked in the local area
- Volunteered in a local community school, offering handyman support whilst without a caretaker.
Coming Soon!
As we move through the year, we will be partnering with more local organisations.Keep an eye on our social media channels for our community involvement!
