The Farmers View is the social club at Hurst Farm, a community of 700+ houses on the fringe of Matlock. The centre, built in the 1960s, had been run as a pub and lately refurbished and fitted out with a commercial kitchen to provide a range of food and drink services – including affordable café meals and a takeaway service.
Part of a major regeneration project, the Centre aims to halt and reverse declines in health equality, economic incomes, skills and physical/mental wellbeing in a deprived area of the Derbyshire Dales.
New kitchen equipment, including a state-of-the-art coffee machine, was funded by a Community Resilience Grant of £9,203 from Derbyshire Dales District Council. The grant has helped the Centre bring people together in a communal eating space - enabling healthy eating, peer support and socialisation.
