    An update for The Wirksworth UFO Incident

    May 5 2025

    A huge thank you to you all!

    Thank you for your kind contributions.

    We are now looking forward to beginning filming in the next couple of weeks, we will be keeping you all up tot date with our progress as we go.

    I can confirm that I have been busy editing the start of the film and it is looking really good, I'd love to share what is there with you all, but that would spoil the finished product.

    What I can confirm is that once the film is completed it will premiere at The Northern Light Cinema in Wirksworth, dates to be arranged.

    The film will then go on a short Film Festival run and afterwards will go live on the Britflicks channel on Youtube.

    Thanks once again

    Stuart

    An update for Saving Jacobs Wells Baths

    We have reached a pivotal milestone in our restoration efforts, receiving a £252k Development Phase grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund to advance our renovation plans alongside developing an engagement and participation plan for ongoing community and youth activities. 

    Over the next 12 months we will be announcing opportunities for our local community to get involved in shaping the future of Jacobs Wells Baths. Building on previous community-driven heritage projects such as Washing In The Well, we are excited to be working with Local Learning to capture the voices of young people, city-wide arts networks and local residents. 

    During this Development Phase we will also progress the design work for the North Wing of the building, supporting our plans to apply for a £2m+ grant from National Lottery Heritage Fund in 2026 to complete the site's transformation into a new multi-purpose community arts and heritage hub for Hotwells.

    To help facilitate this exciting development, Trinity is seeking a full-time Heritage Project Manager to join the team. This role will lead the Development Phase of the project, with a focus on managing community engagement, overseeing stakeholder relationships, supporting design team consultation and creating a learning and participation activity plan to be delivered in 2026 alongside the phase 2 capital works. Job description and application details can be found on Trinity's website. 

    While this latest grant offer is a significant step forward, we still need to raise vital match funding to unlock the full potential of this ambitious recovery effort. Every donation, no matter the size, will help us reimagine a bright new future for this historic building.
