Inspiring Enterprise

We are delighted to announce that our Inspiring Enterprise Project has been awarded funding from the Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner. This exciting new initiative will, over the next year, empower young people to explore entrepreneurship during the school holidays, equipping them with valuable skills in business, IT, product design, and customer service. The project is designed to give young people the opportunity not only to learn but also to generate their own profits—helping them build confidence, resilience, and a brighter future. For further information, please contact Martin Rawson at reviveaid@revivecentre.com

Secret Santa 2025

Secret Sanata 2025 is gearing up! When you become a Secret Santa, you’re not just giving a gift. You’re telling a child they are seen, valued and loved. You’re act of kindness can restore self-belief and keep the magic of Christmas alive. By donating to this cause we will be able to provide a warm winter coat, new shoes, a special toy or something that can help a young person to pursue a hope, dream or aspiration. Your donation will be something they will never forget — because someone they’ll never meet, chose to care and help them when they needed it the most. Read more about Secret Santa here.

Hopes, Dreams & Aspirations

The cost of living crisis has had a huge impact on the Hopes, Dreams and Aspirations of our young people with many unable to afford essential equipment, transport costs or clothing that they need to take up a place at College or pursue an interest that is key to their future careers and development. Over the past year we supported several young people, and a second article has been featured in the local press click here to read.  We are still open to applications to support a young person starting a placement in autumn 2025.
