New Opportunities for Wirksworth
NOW is a community organisation run by and for local people, under the name of The Wirksworth Regeneration Board. It is a company limited by guarantee (which means not run for profit).
The NOW Office is at Memorial Hall, 39 St John Street, Wirksworth DE4 4DS and our email address is now@w3z.co.uk.
The Board’s Mission
NOW exists to regenerate and boost the economy of Wirksworth and surrounding areas, and ultimately the well-being of its people. To achieve this, the Board needs to:
· recognize the strengths of the town and ensure that our aspirations grow and develop,
· provide opportunities and support for new and existing creative industries, ensuring that our objectives are ambitious, but achievable,
· establish and develop links with local traders and other enterprises,
· develop methods and seek funding to attract and incubate enterprises of quality,
· facilitate training and employment opportunities
· encourage and develop Wirksworth’s cultural, creative and artistic reputation already achieved elsewhere as a result of the annual Festival and attempt to produce a pride in this success amongst the townspeople themselves by skillful public relations.
· participate in the regeneration of declining public facilities appropriate to these aims.
Proud Achievements
NOW is proud of the regeneration achievements already attained such as Broadband, the Skateboard Park, the Town Guide and its role in raising debate of the town’s future.
It must maintain partnerships with the Town, District and County Councils. In particular, it must continue to work with the Town Council in implementing the NOW’s consultant’s proposals to improve and develop quality exhibition and performing space to public buildings.
NOW anticipates active participation with the Town Council.
NOW will ensure that this mission statement is periodically debated and renewed.
