We have a fabulous business community here in Kimberley, lots of brilliant independents needing support from the local residents and local Councils.

We are delighted that through the Kimberley Means Business Fund 52 local businesses have seen much needed investment 💪🏻

Working together to invest in Kimberley 🤝

We're proud to see the impact of the Kimberley Means Business Fund, which has now supported 52 independent businesses across the town.

£662,221 in grant funding from the Council, together with business match funding has helped generate more than £1.275 million of investment in Kimberley's high street.

Behind every project is a local business owner choosing to invest in Kimberley, helping to create a more vibrant, welcoming and prosperous town centre for residents and visitors alike.

The businesses pictured are just a few of the people working alongside us to make Kimberley an even better place to live, shop and spend time.

Yesterday, Saturday 29th August, marked a big day in the Centenary Year of Kimberley Miners Welfare FC.

Over the past 12 months a brand new pavilion has been built and over the past few months new pitchside barriers and new low energy lighting has been installed, as well as a completely new drainage system, setting the club up with brilliant facilities for the next 100 years.

The building was official opened by Club President Neil Johnson, who cut the ribbon. Until recently, Neil was Chair of Kimberley Miners Welfare FC for more than 40 years, succeeding his father, Fred. On behalf of the Club, General Manager Danny Staley awarded honorary lifetime memberships to Neil Johnson, Stephen Hobster and Roy Lines for their combined 120 plus year service to Kimberley Miners Welfare FC.

The opening was followed by a match against Sheffield FC, which is the oldest club in the world in continuous existence.

The project was made possible through funding from HM Government and support from Broxtowe Borough Council as part of the Kimberley Means Business project. Grant funding was also sourced from the Premier League Stadium Fund for the floodlights, drainage and the pitchside barriers.

This was a real local project – JRD Cconstruction built the club house; Wheatley Flooring fitted the floors, Jordan Rood did the carpentry, OFC Construction installed the barriers, and nearby companies installed the lighting (Abacus) and the new drains (Larch Groundworks).

The project wouldn’t have been possible without endless hours of volunteer time, from Ryan, Danny, Steve from the Club, and in particular Garth for fighting against mother nature for the last 2 months to get the pitch ready, as well as two of the Recreation Ground Trustees, Trevor Rood, who virtually lived on site for the last 6 weeks of construction to make sure everything was completed and Neil Doherty for keeping everything on track in the background and dealing with grant fundinf applications.

These facilities will be a great asset to Kimberley Miners Welfare FC but also to junior team Priory Celtic who play there, and for local community and residents’ events.

Thank you to everyone who attended, in particular Mayor of Broxtowe, Councillor Barbara Carr, the Mayor of Kimberley, Councillor Nick Dewsbury and Leader of Broxtowe Borough Council Councillor Milan Radulovic.

Well done to everyone involved!
