will you be our friend?

Friends Collective Logo

Join our community of regular supporters and help shape what happens next.

Our First Goal

Our first shared goal is to give our community more chances to show their work. Just 12 new Friends giving £10 a month will help us put on showcases, from installing an artwork to staging a performance or screening.

How Your Support Helps

Your gift helps us cover the costs of exhibitions, performances and screenings, so more people can see what our community creates. Everything we make is added to our archive at Derbyshire Record Office, so it’s kept safe for years to come.

Every Friend helps us make a real difference. Here’s what your gift makes possible:

£10 a month

Pays for sketchbooks, pencils and materials so participants can try new ideas

£25 a month

Keeps our projects up to date with new media equipment

£35 a month

Covers an hour with an artist leading a session for up to 12 people

£45 a month

Gives a participant a safe, creative space with a mentor
