Bel er Clusters Herita e Grou Re ort of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st March 2025 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE The Clusters are a small community in the heart of Belper's Conservation Area comprised of four streets of mixed housing. Residents vary and are of a wide age range. from young familie5 With children through to those that have lived a lifetime on the street. All have a pride in the unique character of the area. The Belper Clusters Heritage Group has worked during recent years on initiatives to bring Clusters residents closer together and involve people in wider community activities. A recent art project with a Japanese artist involved residents and local schools and linked traditions and cultures. There have been several community engagement events held locally to explain the project vision and to invite views and involvement. The local householders were approached individually at an early stage and continue to be kept informed through the delivery of newsletter5 and on-line meetings whilst meeting in person is difficult due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The project will benefit the group's trustees, local residents, stakeholders. the wider community, visitors and tourists by engagement in a variety of activities relating to arts, education and training. Other beneficiaries will be= Residents from the wider Belper and Amber Valley area {20.(K)O and 126.678 respectively, based on 2018 figures) The Long Row Primary School community, based in the heart of the Clusters area {306 children on roll in 2018120191 Visitors and tourists to the Derwent ValSey Mills World Heritage Site.

We will ensure that our project is inclusive to all resident5 and stake holder5 in order for them to feel empowered and engaged. A scheme will be developed with a heritage theme to involve 311 in activities that bring together families and the community.
