DEARNE VALLEY VENTURE
The charity's aim is to relieve the effects of economic and social exclusion in our local community. We run a Centre offering recreation, training and social interaction for people of all ages. The activities we offer are in response to local need and requests. We are fully independent, allowing us to act impartially. We also act as an umbrella organisation for local groups.

Per the trustees' report, the charity's main grant from the National Lottery Community Fund ended in August 2024 and continuation funding was denied, leading to the dissolution of the principal 'Links 4 Families' project.
