Help Us Bring Tutbury's Community Together – Have Your Say!
Published: November 9, 2026
What activities would help you, your family or others in Tutbury meet people, make connections and feel part of our community?
Tutbury Parish Council is asking residents of all ages to complete a short questionnaire to help identify what activities people would like to see in the village.
We recognise the many excellent local groups already operating and want to support them, identify gaps and explore new opportunities, including a youth club for 11–16 year olds.
We particularly want to hear from people who don’t currently attend local groups. Your views will help us understand what activities people would enjoy, when they would prefer to attend and what might prevent them from taking part. You can also tell us if you would like to volunteer or help start something new.
Have your say – it takes just two minutes!

Paper copy: Questionnaires are being delivered by Parish Councillors with the current newsletter. Completed forms can be returned through the letterbox at Charity House, Duke Street.
Please respond by 31 December 2026.
Your feedback will help shape future activities and bring our community together. Thank you for taking part!
