Community groups and organisations

Crich Parish Council represent the interests of parishioners in Crich, Fritchley and Whatstandwell. They provide a range of local services and operate in close liaison with Amber Valley Borough Council and Derbyshire County Council.

Meetings of the Parish Council are held every ‘first Monday’ of the month except August at the ‘Glebe Community Centre’, Crich. The Annual Parish Meeting and the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council are held on the ‘first Monday’ of May.

Annual 11.5km (approx) road/trail race organised on the same day as Crich Village Fete in July. A challenging race, largely off-road and with significant elevation gains, giving great views of the local countryside! Open to individuals and club runners.

The society is concerned with discovering all aspects of local and Derbyshire heritage. We meet at the Glebe Community Centre in Crich on the last Thursday of each month (excluding December) at 7.30pm. Talks cover a wide range of subjects from very local matters, to the history of cheese making in Derbyshire and ballooning over the area. Annual membership is £15 or visitors pay £3 per meeting.

Weekly activity and lunch club for young children and their parents/carers. Meeting on Mondays at The Crich Glebe Community Centre during school term time. Organised by The Glebe Centre.

Cinema club showing films, usually monthly, at Crich Glebe Community Centre. No membership required, so equal opportunity for anyone to book to see the films.

The meetings are a mixture of speakers, social discussions and garden visits. There is an annual membership fee of £5 and you have to be a member of the Comrades Club (currently about £7 per annum).
