About Us

Our story...

We have been providing local families with support through pregnancy and early parenthood since 2016 and were previously known as Derby Community Parent Programme (DCPP). 

 

Connected became an independent, not-for-profit organisation in June 2021 and has built on the original programme & grown, developed & shaped the service to best meet the needs of the local community. 

We pride ourselves on offering a safe and sustainable perinatal support service for all new and expectant parents across Derby.

Shelley - Connected Director

I love my job because I get to meet the most amazing people every day.  Whether it is supporting our volunteers as they train to become peer supporters; or meeting families and being privileged to hear their stories – I’m always inspired by the passion & commitment that the volunteers bring to their role. My job genuinely gives me such a buzz!  I love being out & about where I got to see the real difference our volunteers make for their communities. I’m super proud of how hard the volunteers have worked providing a real source of support for families during a very challenging time.
