Rock Mill Centre CIC

The purpose of Rock Mill Centre CIC is to provide a visitor and community centre for New Mills and the surrounding area that works towards a sustainable future for everyone. The Centre itself aims to engage people with their environment and hosts activities that support community cohesion and mutual care.

We welcome visitors to the town, provide leaflets about the area and have displays about the local rivers, landscape and community. We run a small cafe and a monthly Supper Club. We are a registered Safe Space and Warm Space, throughout the winter we provide a free community meal known as Souper Fridays. We run a variety of community and environmental events and projects throughout the year and also accommodate the painting archive of the Brian Nolan Trust and the Littlest Theatre in New Mills.

We are currently working with Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, Derbyshire Time Swap, New Mills Town Council, Nature New Mills, Visit New Mills, Walkers are Welcome New Mills and the Solitary Bee Nursery, amongst many other groups. We are intentionally pursuing the goals of the HPBC Tourism, Culture and Biodiversity Strategies.
