Council House, Corporation Street, Derby DE1 2FS
01332 956989
Mon–Fri 10:00–16:00; ask at Council House reception.
Start with the Council’s own employment hub for tailored careers guidance, CV and interview support and help overcoming barriers to work. The current page describes adult careers advice, Youth Guarantee support for eligible 16–25-year-olds and Connect to Work. The hub’s hours are narrower than general Council House opening. Ask which programme and appointment route fit your circumstances; funding, a course or employment are not guaranteed.
The Roundhouse, Roundhouse Road, Pride Park, Derby DE24 8JE; actual training may be at other campuses or employers
Apprenticeships: 01332 387420; general: 0800 0280289 / 01332 387400
Not available
DCG offers local apprenticeship training across technical, care, business and other sectors, with vacancies and employer matching described on its current page. The Roundhouse is one teaching site, not the location of every course or employer. Check the actual vacancy, qualification, training venue and entry conditions. Published contact and campus pages do not give a general reception timetable, so arrange a visit rather than assuming teaching or event times are opening hours.
Village Learning Centre, Browning Street, Derby DE23 8DN; courses also at other city centres
Village centre: 01332 956340; general enquiries: 01332 956565
Centre Mon–Fri 09:00–16:30; Mon–Wed 17:00–21:00 in term time. General enquiries Mon–Fri 09:00–16:30.
The Council’s adult-learning service offers English, maths, digital, vocational and employment-related learning. Village Learning Centre is a real enquiry and teaching site; the actual course may use another centre or a different session timetable. Its own location page distinguishes term-time evening access and gives a separate car-park SatNav postcode DE23 8DF. Ask about assessment, funding eligibility, fees and the chosen qualification before enrolling.

Find the dated library Job Club sessions for practical CV, online application and computer support. The current listing includes Allenton sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays and Alvaston Friday sessions, with individual dates and times rather than one citywide opening window. The page still mentions the historic Universal Jobmatch name; use current official recruitment services instead of treating that old label as a working portal. Confirm the selected branch and session.

Usual office hours Mon–Fri 09:00–16:30.
The accredited local Volunteer Centre helps people explore volunteering and supports organisations involving volunteers. It can be useful for building confidence, practical experience and community connections, but volunteering is not paid employment or a promise of a later job. Discuss the actual role, checks, time commitment and any expenses with the host organisation. Immigration conditions can affect volunteering or voluntary work, so do not assume every role is permitted.

This official guide explains the funded qualification route and current eligibility framework for adults in England. It is useful when discussing a course with Derby Adult Learning or a college, but the published guide and historic thresholds are not a personal funding decision.

University of Derby, Kedleston Road, Derby DE22 1GB; individual courses use different city sites
Switchboard: 01332 590500; UK enquiries: 01332 591044; international: 01332 529009
Enquiries Mon/Tue/Wed/Fri 09:00–16:30; Thu 10:30–16:30. Kedleston building Mon–Thu 07:00–22:30; Fri 07:00–21:00; Sat/Sun 08:00–17:30.
Derby’s local university offers undergraduate routes across multiple subjects and sites. Check each course’s actual campus, entry requirements, recognition, tuition fees and intake rather than assuming all teaching is at Kedleston Road. The own contact page’s enquiry-line hours differ from building access; security and library hours are separate. An open building does not make every office or course accessible to visitors, and admission or funding is not guaranteed.
The Roundhouse Higher Education Centre, Roundhouse Road, Pride Park, Derby DE24 8JE; actual course location may differ

Not available
DCG’s higher-education portfolio includes higher technical qualifications, HNCs, foundation and honours degrees and higher or degree apprenticeships. The Roundhouse is a higher-education centre, but subjects can use other teaching locations or employers. Establish the awarding institution, progression route, entry requirements and actual costs for the selected course. Current service, contact and campus pages publish no general reception timetable; arrange an enquiry or visit directly.

This independent university in nearby Nottingham broadens the choice beyond Derby, but it is not a Derby campus. Its current own applicant-contact page distinguishes a 24-hour bot from human chat and telephone hours and offers booked visits to the Portland Building. Compare the actual course, travel, qualification and fees; response targets are not a promise of admission or a same-day appointment. Use the correct enquiries team for your application stage.

This is a separate university in Loughborough, not a Derby teaching site. Explore its subject choices and use the admissions contact for the correct level of study. The own general contact and undergraduate application pages publish telephone numbers and campus address but no ordinary admissions opening timetable; ask before travelling. Entry, tuition, accommodation and funding conditions must be checked for the actual programme rather than inferred from university reputation.

Council House, Corporation Street, Derby DE1 2FS
01332 641702
Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00; Sat 09:00–13:00; Sun closed.
The central public library is inside the Council House, not Riverside Chambers where the separate local-history library operates. Its own Saturday morning opening differs from Council customer-service hours. Use the branch for public reading, borrowing and library facilities. Confirm any booked activity or room arrangements separately, and check current notices before a bank-holiday visit.
St Augustine’s Community Centre, Almond Street, Derby DE23 6LX
01332 642640
Mon/Fri 09:30–17:00; Wed 09:30–19:00; Thu 13:00–17:00; Sat 09:30–13:00; Tue/Sun closed.
This public branch is in St Augustine’s Community Centre and offers reading resources, public computers and accessible facilities. The own page also describes a restored theatre and meeting space for hire; room hire is not automatically free library access. Wednesday evening opening and Thursday afternoon-only access are retained. Library staff are not medical advisers when lending health-monitor kits.
1252–1254 London Road, Alvaston, Derby DE24 8QP
01332 647920
Mon 13:00–17:00; Tue/Fri 09:30–17:00; Thu 09:30–19:00; Sat 09:30–13:00; Wed/Sun closed.
The Alvaston branch provides a local public-library alternative to travelling into the centre. Its own page identifies the London Road premises and a car park behind the shops. Monday starts in the afternoon, Wednesday is closed and Thursday has later opening. Check branch activity listings for actual sessions rather than assuming every event runs throughout building hours. Membership and any facility charges follow library conditions.
Holly End Road, Mickleover, Derby DE3 0EA
01332 647884
Mon 13:00–17:00; Tue/Fri 10:00–17:00; Thu 10:00–19:00; Sat 10:00–13:00; Wed/Sun closed.
Use this public branch for local borrowing, reading, computers and community activities in Mickleover. The own location page places it on Holly End Road and describes adjacent community-centre parking for customers. Thursday evening access differs from the other weekdays, and there is no Wednesday service. Confirm room hire, specialist support and event booking with the branch rather than treating general opening as a session timetable.
Riverside Chambers, Derby DE1 3AF
01332 642240; text enquiries: 07584 268351
Tue–Thu 10:00–12:45 / 13:30–16:00; Fri/Sat 10:00–13:00; Mon/Sun closed.
This specialist public library supports local history and family research, separately from Riverside Library in the Council House. The current own notice says building alterations restrict some stored materials and donations until 30 November 2026. Contact staff before travelling for a specific item. The midday closure is real; ring the doorbell if Riverside Chambers reception is closed. Do not assume unrestricted access to every collection.
Poole Street, Allenton, Derby DE24 9DA
01332 642310
Mon 10:00–15:00; Wed 10:00–16:30; Sat 10:00–13:00; Tue/Thu/Fri/Sun closed.
This non-statutory community branch remains part of Derby’s public library network, with its own Poole Street contact. The current timetable includes the extended Wednesday afternoon and Saturday morning sessions, not an older three-o’clock Wednesday finish. Its own page lists accessible facilities, public internet and parking. Check the selected event date and current notices; limited weekly hours do not imply that another closed branch is open instead.
Park Farm Centre, Allestree, Derby DE22 2QN
01332 640061
Tue/Thu/Fri 10:00–16:30; Wed/Sat 10:00–13:00; Mon/Sun closed.
The Park Farm Centre community library has its own published telephone and public-library timetable. Wednesday is a shorter morning session, while Saturday morning opening forms part of the current extended service. The branch describes accessible entry, internet and nearby time-limited parking. Follow the actual parking restrictions and confirm any activity booking with staff. This is a community public branch, not a university or private collection.
Blagreaves Lane, Littleover, Derby DE23 1PT
01332 255403
Wed/Thu 10:00–15:00; Fri/Sat 10:00–13:00; Mon/Tue/Sun closed.
Blagreaves provides a public community-library option in Littleover, using its own Blagreaves Lane address and branch number. The current schedule includes Saturday mornings but no Monday or Tuesday service. Its page lists accessible facilities, public internet and a limited free car park. Arrange room hire or specific support separately and check holiday notices; published building access is not a guarantee that a particular activity or resource is available.
Chaddesden Park, Chaddesden, Derby DE21 6LN
01332 640062
Tue/Fri 10:00–16:30; Mon/Wed/Thu/Sat/Sun closed in the current own timetable.
The Chaddesden Park branch is named the Phillip Whitehead Memorial Library. Use its own published Tuesday and Friday sessions, not a blanket assumption that every Derby community branch already opens on Saturdays. The Council’s wider Saturday rollout is phased and the individual branch record remains the selected evidence. Contact this number about local collections and activities, and check notices before a journey to the park premises.
Barley Croft, Chellaston, Derby DE73 6TU
01332 640063
Tue/Thu 10:00–16:30; Sat 10:00–13:00; Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun closed.
This public community branch is at Barley Croft and publishes its own contact rather than a generic Council switchboard. Its current timetable includes the Saturday morning opening introduced in the phased extension of community-library hours. Tuesday and Thursday are the longer sessions. Check membership, reserved books and the actual activity timetable with the branch; do not infer Sunday or other weekday access from the surrounding community facilities.
Revive Healthy Living Centre, Roe Farm Lane, Chaddesden, Derby DE21 6ET
01332 642250
Wed 12:30–16:30; Fri 11:00–15:00; Mon/Tue/Thu/Sat/Sun closed in the own timetable.
Derwent Community Library is inside the Revive Healthy Living Centre, but its library opening is narrower than any general centre opening. The current own record lists Wednesday afternoon and Friday sessions only, despite the broader phased Saturday-opening programme. Ask the branch about borrowing, internet and local activities using its direct number. This is a public community library, not a health clinic or a promise of clinical services at the shared building.
District Centre, Arleston Lane, Sinfin, Derby DE24 3DS
01332 647933
Mon/Wed/Thu 10:00–16:30; Tue/Fri/Sat/Sun closed. Current Thursday session applies from 21 September.
The Sinfin public community library is in the District Centre on Arleston Lane. Its own page shows both an older timetable and a new schedule from 21 September; the current Thursday session is retained instead of copying the obsolete two-day version. The direct library number and library hours are separate from neighbouring services. Check holiday notices, event dates and access arrangements before visiting, especially when seeking a particular computer or reserved item.
Sitwell Street, Spondon, Derby DE21 7FG
01332 640065
Mon/Tue/Thu 10:00–16:30; Sat 10:00–13:00; Wed/Fri/Sun closed.
This Sitwell Street public community branch has longer Monday, Tuesday and Thursday sessions plus Saturday mornings. The own page supplies the local telephone, accessibility information and adjacent parking rather than an unrelated central-office contact. Use the branch for local reading and borrowing and check individual activities or collection availability directly. Current notices and parking conditions still apply; the timetable is not a guarantee of a particular event or support appointment.
Springwood Leisure Centre, Springwood Drive, Oakwood, Derby DE21 2RQ
01332 640064
Tue/Thu 10:00–16:00; Wed 15:00–19:00; Sat 10:00–13:00; Mon/Fri/Sun closed.
The Oakwood community library is located inside Springwood Leisure Centre. The library’s own opening differs from the gym and sports timetable: Wednesday is an afternoon/evening session and Saturday is morning-only. Its own branch number is used for library enquiries rather than assuming all leisure-centre activities are library services. Confirm membership, booked sessions and current notices separately; sports facilities or room hire can have distinct access conditions and charges.
17–19 Lower Dale Road, Normanton, Derby DE23 6WY
01332 641315
Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00; individual activities and appointments separately.
The own directory describes a calm area, accessible parking and flat access, a disabled toilet and hygiene room, and translation support including Arabic, Urdu, French and Punjabi. Ask which sessions and workers are available on the day; general hub opening is not a guarantee of a specific language interpreter or appointment. Derby’s hub network connects families to support and activities; eligibility and the actual session arrangements should be checked with the team.
35 Stockbrook Street, Derby DE22 3WR
01332 640250
Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00; individual activities and appointments separately.
This local hub is on Stockbrook Street. The current own directory postcode is DE22 3WR; do not copy a different postcode from a general national hub list. Use the direct hub number to discuss the actual family support, activity or appointment needed rather than treating the building’s opening as the timetable of every session. Derby’s hub network connects families to support and activities; eligibility and the actual session arrangements should be checked with the team.
Monmouth Street, Derby DE21 6BD
01332 641010
Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00; individual activities and appointments separately.
The Monmouth Street hub is distinct from Derwent Community Library at the Revive Healthy Living Centre. Contact the family hub directly about support for parents, carers and children. The directory provides a registration route, but no registration or personal information was entered here. Confirm the actual session and any referral conditions with the team. Derby’s hub network connects families to support and activities; eligibility and the actual session arrangements should be checked with the team.
Reigate Primary School, Reigate Drive, Mackworth, Derby DE22 4EQ
01332 640040
Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00; individual activities and appointments separately.
The current own directory gives 01332 640040 for this hub at Reigate Primary School, rather than the older 01332 208175 in a previous leaflet. A school-site family hub is not an invitation to enter unrestricted school areas. Call the team to establish the right arrival point, support route and session before travelling. Derby’s hub network connects families to support and activities; eligibility and the actual session arrangements should be checked with the team.
Sinfin Children’s and Young People’s Centre, 345 Sinfin Lane, Derby DE24 9HW
01332 956967
Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00; individual activities and appointments separately.
The own current location record gives DE24 9HW for the centre, whereas some older or general lists show DE24 9SF. Use the direct hub contact and confirm the correct arrival point. The published weekday hours describe the centre, not guaranteed availability of every course, health worker or appointment; ask which support is relevant to your family. Derby’s hub network connects families to support and activities; eligibility and the actual session arrangements should be checked with the team.
HQ: Marble Hall, 80 Nightingale Road, Derby DE24 8BF; Annie Hall Centre: 8 Bedford Close, Derby DE22 3HQ
01332 521229
Office staff Mon–Fri 09:00–16:00; visits strictly by appointment. Activity times differ.
The local charity supports disabled children, young adults and their families through family support and activities. Its current contact page distinguishes the Marble Hall headquarters and Annie Hall Centre and explicitly requires appointments for visits. Office staff hours are not a play-session or adult-service timetable. Ask which location, eligibility, assessment, cost and support arrangements apply rather than assuming every activity or place is free or immediately available.
Telephone/remote advice for Derby City residents; meetings arranged with the service
01332 641414; Relay UK: 18001 01332 641414
Contact service Mon–Fri; voicemail and callback system. Exact daily callback clock times are not published.
The service advises children, young people and parent carers in Derby City about special educational needs, disability, education, health and social care. It is not the separate Derbyshire County service. The current page says referrals and voicemail are checked daily and asks callers to leave a message; it aims to respond within five working days because demand is high. This is not an instant appointment or a guarantee of a legal outcome.
Melbourne House, 8 Bold Lane, Derby DE1 3NT; registered office elsewhere is not the support venue
01332 362120
Not available
This specialist charity supports children and families affected by exploitation in Derby and Derbyshire. Its current own address is Melbourne House, not the older Darley Abbey Mills listing still found elsewhere. The charity explicitly says its phones are not staffed around the clock; the broad daily hours in an external directory are not treated as verified own reception hours. For immediate danger follow the emergency safeguarding route rather than waiting for a callback.

Use the Council’s family-information and childcare directory to locate the actual hub, childcare provider or support service relevant to your area and child’s needs. Individual records give their own contact and access arrangements; a directory search does not establish eligibility, available places or that a provider is open today. Check the selected record and speak to the service before travel or registration. No form, shortlist, application or personal data was submitted.
Telephone and online counselling; not a Derby walk-in office
0800 1111
Telephone support 24 hours daily. BSL SignVideo Mon–Fri 08:00–20:00; Sat 08:00–13:00.
Children and young people can speak to a counsellor about worries and safety by telephone or the online support routes. The own page explains that confidentiality has safeguarding and legal exceptions, that overnight conversations can work differently and that waiting can occur. The local fetch is 403; current own web information was read separately and is not represented as a local 200 success. No counselling interaction or account was tested.

Contact the child-protection helpline if you have concerns about a child’s safety or wellbeing. The own current page gives different telephone, written-contact and BSL windows and explains that safeguarding referrals may be made when necessary. It is not an emergency-response guarantee. This selected page is locally 403; its own current web contents were separately read, without claiming local 200 content or testing any contact function.
Telephone/remote advice for families with disabled children; no Derby reception
0808 8083555; text relay prefix:18002

The charity’s helpline supports unpaid parent carers of disabled children and young people up to 25 across the UK; a formal diagnosis is not required. It is not a service for all adult-care or professional legal enquiries. The own page describes Tuesday’s later opening and distinct chat windows. There is no voicemail or ordinary helpline callback when busy; interpreting callbacks can be arranged separately. Ask about the relevant issue and jurisdiction rather than assuming a benefit, school-placement or legal outcome.
Telephone parenting support for England and Wales; not a local drop-in centre
0808 8002222; WhatsApp: 07441 444125
Phone, live chat and WhatsApp Mon–Fri 09:00–21:00; weekends 10:00–15:00. Chat/WhatsApp own pages explicitly say bank holidays closed.
The parenting helpline provides emotional support, information and guidance about family life in England and Wales. Its current own page gives a shorter weekend window than weekday hours and explains that calls may not be answered first time. The team cannot provide legal or medical advice. Different national services are signposted for Scotland, so do not assume every UK family-support route has the same coverage or opening.

The public hospital provides 24-hour adult emergency care, with a separate children’s emergency department. The current own service page directs urgent and emergency arrivals to the new Adult ED entrance 8, followed by triage to the appropriate service. The contact page’s reception number differs from the ED number in its ward directory, so both are identified rather than silently substituted. Inpatient visiting is a separate timetable. Use 999 for a life-threatening emergency.
Entrance C, Derby Urgent Treatment Centre, Osmaston Road, Derby DE1 2GD
Appointments: 111; centre number published by UHDB: 01332 452199
Daily 08:00–20:00, including bank holidays.
This NHS-commissioned urgent treatment centre is operated by DHU, not an Emergency Department. The own current page advises NHS 111 first for a suitable arrival or appointment slot; walk-ins can be limited and may receive an on-the-day appointment or redirection. It explicitly says there are no on-site X-ray facilities. The own appointment route is 111, while UHDB publishes a separate centre number. Entrance C and Osmaston Road are distinct from Royal Derby’s adult ED entrance.
207 St Thomas Road, Pear Tree / Normanton, Derby DE23 8RJ
01332 271212; out-of-hours: 111
Main site Mon–Fri 08:00–18:30; Sat/Sun closed. Some booked extended appointments Mon–Fri 18:30–20:00 and Sat 09:00–17:00; not ordinary walk-in opening.
Use the current own main-site contact and timetable for Lister House’s NHS general practice. The same practice also has Oakwood, Coleman Street and Chellaston sites, whose normal closing time is 18:00 rather than 18:30. Patients should confirm the actual appointment location. Extended sessions are booked clinical access, not a promise that every reception is open. Registration area, triage, clinician availability and any non-NHS fees should be checked with the practice.
212 Osmaston Road, Derby DE23 8JX
01332 346433; out-of-hours: 111
Mon–Fri 08:00–18:30; Sat/Sun closed.
This local NHS general practice publishes its own Osmaston Road address, reception number and weekday hours. Contact the practice about registration, triage and routine or urgent appointments; normal opening is not a guarantee that a clinician or particular service can see you immediately. The own closed-hours guidance separates NHS 111 from 999 emergencies and notes that 111 online is for age 5 and over. No registration, symptom form or appointment was tested.
City Site, 3–5 Burton Road, Derby DE1 1TH; separate Mackworth branch:31 Humbleton Drive, Derby DE22 4AU
01332 737777; out-of-hours: 111
City Site Mon–Fri 08:00–18:30; Humbleton Drive branch Mon–Fri 08:00–16:00. Both closed Sat/Sun.
The own current contact page distinguishes the Burton Road City Site and Mackworth branch, including their different closing times. Use the correct appointment location rather than treating both as interchangeable walk-in centres. The main site has limited patient parking with a stated 90-minute maximum, not a guaranteed space. The website’s 21 October training closure is already past; check later notices before travelling and ask about registration and actual appointment access.
14 Boulton Lane, Alvaston, Derby DE24 0GE
01332 755990; Medicines Order Line: 0115 8550260; out-of-hours: 111
Current dated week: Mon/Fri 08:00–18:30; Tue/Wed/Thu 08:00–20:00; Sat/Sun closed. Aston branch has different hours.
The own current contact timetable shows later Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday sessions than several external directories. This entry is for Alvaston on Boulton Lane, not the Aston-on-Trent branch outside the city; that branch has another telephone and split weekday hours. A callback option is described for queued calls. Check the selected date, registration and actual clinical appointment rather than assuming all services run throughout building hours.
Village Community Medical Centre, Browning Street, Derby DE23 8AL
01332 414944; out-of-hours: 111
Current dated timetable: Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri 08:00–18:30; Wed 08:00–20:00; Sat/Sun closed.
The NHS surgery’s own current dated contact page gives Browning Street and a later Wednesday close. It is distinct from Village Learning Centre, whose postcode and purpose differ. Contact the practice for registration, triage and the actual clinician or service needed; building opening is not a promise of an immediate appointment. The own page describes accessible entry and facilities and routes urgent closed-hours needs to 111, with 999 for emergencies.
Florence Nightingale Community Hospital, London Road, Derby DE1 2QY
0800 3283383
Own clinic Mon–Thu 09:00–19:00; Fri 09:00–17:00; Sat 09:00–13:00; bank holidays closed. STI walk-in Tue/Fri 09:00–12:00 or earlier capacity cutoff. U21 booked Space Clinic Tue 14:00–18:00/Sat 10:00–14:00.
Use the provider’s own current clinic timetable, not the different older times in a general NHS directory. Routine and specialist services include contraception and STI care, with different booking and eligibility arrangements. The Tuesday/Friday walk-in-and-wait sessions can fill before noon; the under 21 Space Clinic has separate booked hours, including a Saturday session extending beyond ordinary clinic hours. Confirm the appropriate route rather than assuming a walk-in place or immediate treatment.
Trevayler, 309 Burton Road, Derby DE23 6AG
Safe Haven: 0330 0083722; wider Trevayler service: 01332 348080
Safe Haven daily 16:30–00:30,365 days; latest access around 23:45. The wider site’s 24h listing is not Safe Haven drop-in hours.
The community service supports adults 18 and over experiencing mental-health distress. Its own page distinguishes self-referral to Safe Haven from hospital-referral step-down support and Crisis Team referral to the Crisis House. Use the dedicated Safe Haven number and evening timetable, not the generic 24-hour site heading. NHS guidance confirms this local route. It is not an emergency department or an assurance of admission; use emergency services where there is immediate danger.
Royal Derby Hospital, Uttoxeter Road, Derby DE22 3NE. Level 1 dispensary near Children’s Hospital; Pride Pharmacy near main entrance.
Main dispensary: 01332 785562; Pride Pharmacy: 01332 788921
Main dispensary Mon–Fri 09:00–19:00; Sat/Sun/bank holidays 09:00–17:00. Pride Pharmacy Mon–Fri 08:00–19:00; Sat 08:00–14:00.
The hospital’s own current pharmacy page gives two different Derby dispensary contacts and timetables. The main dispensary’s Sunday and bank-holiday opening is retained separately from Pride Pharmacy’s published weekday/Saturday window. These are hospital dispensaries with their own prescription and patient scope, not a claim that they act as an unrestricted community emergency pharmacy. Call about the actual prescription route and use the local pharmacy finder or 111 for urgent community access.
Telephone support for Derby and Derbyshire; any face-to-face referral is arranged separately
111,select mental health option2; BSL via NHS111SignVideo
24 hours daily,7 days a week.
The current NHS service is for Derbyshire people of all ages experiencing distress, anxiety or difficulty coping. The own page says the old 08000280077number was switched off from 1 July 2026; it is not reused as the primary route. Call 111 and select mental health option 2. Any invitation to a face-to-face crisis service is separate from the phone call and depends on circumstances; this listing does not make a treatment or admission decision.
Telephone/online NHS urgent-care navigation for England; not a physical Derby clinic
111; emergencies:999
Telephone service 24 hours daily; online guidance has separate age and service conditions.
NHS 111helps identify an appropriate urgent-care route when the need is not a life-threatening emergency, including out-of-hours GP, urgent dental, pharmacy and mental-health support. The own guidance says 111onlineis for age 5 and over and to call for a younger child. Online emergency-medicine requests do not themselves issue a prescription. No symptom assessment, callback, personal information or clinical decision was tested in this directory review.

For an urgent medicine problem when usual services are closed, follow the NHS 111route rather than assuming a historic rota or a hospital dispensary will serve every community prescription.

For urgent problems outside ordinary arrangements, follow the official NHS 111guidance rather than submitting a routine enquiry and assuming immediate care.
Council House, Corporation Street, Derby DE1 2FS
01332 888777; YMCA also signposts out-of-hours Careline:01332 956606
Council page visits Mon/Tue/Thu 09:00–17:00, Wed/Fri 10:00–17:00; Derby Homes specifies limited homelessness counter 09:00–13:00/10:00–13:00. Call urgently outside these hours.
Use the statutory Housing Options route if homeless or facing homelessness. The Council says its phone can be called at any time, while the operator describes limited adviser windows and a shorter face-to-face counter timetable. Both current own records are retained, so call before relying on afternoon reception. Assessment, eligibility and the type of help depend on circumstances; contacting the service is not a guarantee of an immediate property or bed.
Limited face-to-face service: Council House, Corporation Street, Derby DE1 2FS. Registered office 839 London Road, Derby DE24 8UZ is a postal address.
01332 888777; automated payments:0345 6001982
Emergency repairs 24h; digital helper 24h does not mean adviser 24h. Nonurgent repairs 08:00–17:00; rent 09:00–16:30; tenancy/ASB09:00–15:00; money advice 10:00–15:00. General counter Mon–Fri 09:00–13:00.
Existing tenants should use the appropriate repairs, rent or tenancy route. The own contact page separates an always-available digital helper from human advisers and emergency repairs, and distinguishes postal offices from the limited Council House counter. Housing Options nonurgent calls are Mon/Tue/Thu 08:30–17:00 and Wed/Fri 10:00–17:00; Homefinder calls end 16:30. Do not use an ordinary online enquiry for an emergency or assume every repair is treated as urgent.
Housing and Debt Advice, Phoenix Street, Derby DE1 2ER
01332 287850
Own Derby contact: Mon–Fri 09:00–16:30; appointment arrangements confirmed by team.
The independent charity and Derby Law Centre partnership provides specialist housing, homelessness, debt and possession-proceedings advice. Its current own service footer closes at 16:30, rather than the 17:00 in an older general NHS directory. The Ilkeston training centre is a different service and location. Ask about scope, eligibility, Legal Aid and appointment capacity; a request for help is not a promise of representation or a particular court or housing outcome.
Marble Hall,80 Nightingale Road, Derby DE24 8BF
0808 2787972
Phone and office Mon–Fri 10:00–16:00; no drop-in, pre-booked appointments only through Adviceline.
The local Citizens Advice office can help identify the right advice route for housing, money and related practical problems. Its own national office record explicitly says there is no drop-in at Marble Hall, so call for a booked appointment rather than turning up. Published office hours are not a promise of adviser availability. Explain any deadlines promptly and ask about the actual scope of support; the service does not allocate Council housing or guarantee a legal result.
YMCA Community Hub, Parcel Terrace, Derby DE1 1LY
Padley/Community Hub:01332 774480; Supported Futures:01332 854646
Mon–Fri 09:00–15:00. Individual workshops, food and activity arrangements may differ.
The current Community Hub offers practical support for people affected by poverty, homelessness and isolation, including help navigating advice and registration. Its own current address is Parcel Terrace rather than a historic day-centre venue. It is not the residential Campus on London Road. The pantry, café and individual activities have their own arrangements; do not assume every item is free or that attending the hub guarantees accommodation.
The Campus,770 London Road, Wilmorton, Derby DE24 8UT; referral assessment arranged separately
YMCA:01332 579550; Council referral:01332 888777 option4; out-of-hours Careline:01332 956606
Residential service described as 24/7,365 days. This is not unrestricted public reception or immediate bed availability; referral/assessment required.
The housing service supports adults with accommodation and housing-related support needs through different pathways, including age-specific provision. The own page says a Derby City Council referral is required, followed by assessment; the 24-hour operation is not an automatic walk-in admission promise. People needing help registering as homeless are directed to Padley’s Community Hub. Contact the actual referral route and ask about eligibility and capacity rather than assuming a room is available.

Shelter’s emergency helpline advises people facing homelessness, unsafe housing or risk of losing a home. The own page explicitly says it does not provide accommodation. Current demand may mean waiting or difficulty getting through; it is not a 24-hour emergency-bed line. Use Derby’s statutory urgent Housing Options route when necessary and explain any deadline to the adviser. The listing does not make an eligibility, tenancy or court decision.

The fuel-poverty charity offers energy-bill and benefits advice, including help understanding supplier problems, efficiency and possible support. The own page gives shorter Friday phone hours and a separate webchat window. Ask which help fits your actual situation; advice is not a promise of a grant, free energy or a benefit award. Urgent supply interruptions may need the supplier’s own emergency route rather than an ordinary advice enquiry.

The charity offers an online debt-advice route that can be started, paused and resumed, alongside information about possible debt solutions. It can be useful when rent, bills and other debts interact, but an online guide is not a housing allocation or protection from every enforcement step.

The official service can provide help for eligible legal-aid problems, including homelessness, eviction risk and debt where the home is at risk. Scope and financial evidence are checked before a legal adviser decides what help is available. The guide describes callbacks and interpreting support, not an automatic free representation guarantee. Check eligibility and urgent deadlines with the actual service; no legal-aid assessment, financial evidence, personal case or callback request was submitted.
Derby station, Railway Terrace, Derby DE1 2RU
EMR operator contact/lost property:03457 125678—not a dedicated local ticket-desk number
Ticket office Mon–Sat 04:55–22:45; Sun 06:20–23:00. Staff assistance listed 24 hours daily; ticket-office and waiting-room access are separate.
Derby station is managed by East Midlands Railway. The official station record gives step-free access, assistance arrangements and the actual ticket-office timetable; check lifts, engineering work and live departures before a journey. Staffing availability does not guarantee that every individual journey or replacement vehicle is accessible. The operator number is identified as a wider contact, not invented as a direct ticket-desk line. The own EMR page was separately read through official web retrieval because its local fetch is 403.

The current own contact page separates the Derby shop, central phone service and social-media windows. Do not copy older coronavirus hours or third-party listings that treat Sunday social support as telephone opening. The shop provides tickets and travel information; actual routes, fares, ticket restrictions and service disruption still depend on the journey.

The Council page gives the central information-office timetable and bus-station contacts, distinct from trentbarton’s own shop. It also retains an obsolete January 2021 National Express suspension statement: that is not treated as current, because the current coach operator guide and City visitor site describe Derby services.

01332 640000;Deaf text:07774 333412;public emergency social Careline:01332 956606
Council House/self-service booths Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00; Customer Service Centre 09:00–13:00. General phone 09:00–17:00; some teams shorter. Careline 17:00–09:00 weekdays,24hweekends/bank holidays.
The Council’s current page distinguishes the building, self-service booths, staffed customer centre and telephone channels. Benefits and Council Tax advice at the Council House is by appointment, while social housing and homelessness use Derby Homes rather than this general number. Separate teams have shorter phone windows, including registrars 09:00–13:00 and Council Tax 09:00–12:00. A digital helper outside staffed hours is not a human adviser.
Derby Register Office, Riverside Chambers, Full Street, Derby DE1 3AF
01332 640000—Council registrar route
Registrar phone Mon–Fri 09:00–13:00. Own office record Mon–Thu 09:00–16:30, Fri 09:00–16:00; Sat ceremonies by appointment only; Sun closed. Birth registration by appointment.
The current own birth-registration page directs appointments to Riverside Chambers, not the old Royal Oak House. It says births must be registered within 42 days and explains who should attend. New identity-document requirements apply from 9 November 2026; check the current accepted-original-document list before the actual appointment rather than applying the future rule as if already in force today. General office or ceremony hours do not mean an unbooked registration can be completed.

Read the official explanation of the digital record of immigration identity, status and conditions and how to access it through the appropriate UKVI route. Keep your current identity and travel details accurate and use the actual error-reporting or support process when needed. Creating an account or viewing a record does not itself grant permission to stay, work or study. No identity document, account, personal case information or immigration application was entered.

Use the official guide to establish whether you already have a National Insurance number and whether you need and can apply for one. Read the current residence, work-related and evidence conditions rather than paying an unofficial intermediary for access to free government information. A National Insurance number is not proof of immigration permission or a general residence-registration certificate. No application or personal information was submitted.

The official service explains how to show the relevant immigration rights to an employer, landlord or another authorised checker. Select the correct purpose and understand which personal details the checker will see. A share code does not change your underlying permission or create new rights. Use the current nested eVisa route rather than an old guessed top-level address; no sign-in, identity check, share-code generation or personal status lookup was performed.

Read the current eligibility and application guidance if the scheme may be relevant to you or a family member. The main historic deadline has passed, but different family and late-application routes have specific conditions. Do not assume every person arriving in the UK can use this scheme. Establish the actual category and obtain regulated advice when uncertain; this directory does not decide eligibility, excuse a deadline or guarantee an outcome.

Use the official routing guide to identify the appropriate UKVI team or contact service for the actual type and location of enquiry. Staff can explain process but cannot act as your personal immigration adviser, predict success or guarantee a decision date. Charges and contact arrangements can differ between routes, so read the selected channel’s current conditions. No question, payment, identity information or personal case was submitted on your behalf.

Use the official adviser finder to check Immigration Advice Authority registration or the appropriate professional route. Verify the actual adviser, authorised level, scope, current status and any charges before handing over documents or money. An organisation calling itself a charity or consultant is not by itself proof that all immigration work is authorised. Advisers can assist within their remit but do not decide applications or guarantee permission.

Use the city’s actual Council Tax pages for moving-home information, billing, discounts and support routes. Liability and reductions depend on the household, property and evidence; low income or student status should not be assumed to remove every bill automatically. The Council’s own contact page gives a 09:00–12:00weekday telephone window and appointment-only in-person advice, separate from general building hours. No payment, balance or address change was entered.

Use the government service to check registration and the process after moving or changing your name. Eligibility depends on nationality, age, election type and the rules applying in the relevant UK nation; do not assume every UK resident can vote in every election. Read the England-relevant guidance and contact Derby’s electoral-registration team when needed. Electoral registration is not proof of immigration permission and does not replace an immigration application.

The official account route lets people view and manage relevant personal tax information and selected records. Some tasks, including business taxes or Self Assessment, use separate services or further steps. Use the secure official sign-in and check the actual identity requirements; do not give an intermediary your password or security codes. No tax return, financial information, benefit change, identity verification or payment was entered during this review.

Read the current Great Britain route relevant to Derby, with a separate route for Northern Ireland. Check the actual licence and identity requirements and remember that changing a licence address does not update every vehicle or government record. This service does not assess whether an existing foreign licence permits you to drive in Britain. No licence details, identity information, payment or address-change application was submitted.

Read how the government’s sign-in system works and follow the instructions for the actual service you want to use. One Login does not yet replace every government account, so do not assume one successful sign-in opens all personal records or proves entitlement to a service. Keep passwords and security codes private and use official identity-check routes. No account, verification, credentials or personal government service was opened.

Read the official route for demonstrating the relevant right to a prospective landlord in England, including share-code and document options where applicable. Derby is in England, but this landlord-checking requirement must not be applied automatically to Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. The guide does not grant immigration permission, approve a tenancy or guarantee that a landlord will offer housing. Check the evidence route for your actual status.

The Council offers ESOL from beginner to Level 2 in morning, afternoon and evening groups. Book an assessment to establish the appropriate level and actual course, centre, funding and fee conditions; do not copy lockdown-era statements that all classes are online or old earnings thresholds from the Ukraine information page. Each centre has its own direct number. Village and Allen Park also publish different SatNav postcodes, DE23 8DFandDE24 9ADrespectively; confirm the actual class venue.

The current DCG page describes ESOL from pre-entry to Level 2, with six hours weekly in two three-hour classes and opportunities for a recognised qualification. Actual morning, afternoon or evening groups and fees/funding depend on assessment and the course. St James is the listed community teaching base, not the Roundhouse for every learner. The college and venue pages disagree on the postcode, and no general reception timetable is published; confirm both the arrival details and session.

Centre Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00. Published beginner English Tue 13:00; improvers Thu 14:00. Monday class PAUSED by 3 September 2026notice; call to confirm remaining sessions.
The community charity’s earlier class announcement lists free English, but its newer own notice suspends the Monday class until further notice. Do not advertise Monday 10:30as currently running. The centre also works with Derby Refugee Forum: advice drop-in doors open Tue/Thu 08:30 and appointments are allocated from 09:00, without a guaranteed time. Its own page describes regulated Level 1immigration advice; check the adviser’s current remit rather than treating all volunteer support as immigration representation.
Telephone/remote coordination for refugee and asylum-seeker activities at different venues; no fixed public walk-in address published on current own contact page
01332 916150
Telephone Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00; actual class and activity times are separate and must be confirmed.
The local charity offers free English classes and social activities for refugees and asylum seekers in Derby. Its current own contact page gives a staffed phone window and referral routes, including support that can visit people at their accommodation. The activities page’s embedded calendar is not available as a readable local session list, so no old Trinity timetable or guessed class time is carried forward. Call to establish the actual venue, session and access conditions; hosting referrals do not guarantee accommodation.

Provider’s current Learning English listing:Julie James07790 900017 / Steve Cooke07881 615750
Own centre opening Thu/Sat 09:30–12:30; provider’s Learning English listing gives English Thu/Sat 11:00–12:00. Confirm the selected session.
The grassroots charity supports refugees and asylum seekers through English practice, friendship and community activities. The own website confirms Thursday and Saturday centre hours and the Whitecross Street venue. The provider’s current regional Learning English record supplies named contacts and class times; these are distinguished from the wider centre opening. Volunteer-led learning is not automatically an accredited ESOL qualification. Do not rely on broad legal claims or old funding figures elsewhere on the charity homepage for immigration advice.
Hope Centre, Curzon Street, Derby DE1 1LL

English conversation Tue 13:30–14:30. Office Tue–Fri 09:00–16:00. Own foodbank/Hope Store timetable Fri 10:30–14:00; separate referral conditions.
The centre’s own current services page invites people to practise English in the Tuesday conversation group. This is informal practice, not an accredited language examination. Its office hours differ from the group and food-support timetable. The same page says clothing provision has moved to another organisation and is no longer the centre’s own clothing offer; ask about current needs, referral and the relevant support rather than assuming every donated item or service is freely available on arrival.

Use the local voluntary-sector alliance information to identify organisations working with refugees, asylum seekers and other new arrivals in Derby. An alliance is not a single statutory casework office and reading its page does not register you for benefits, housing or immigration permission. Follow the actual member service and confirm its current scope, contacts, referral conditions and available support rather than treating a partnership listing as an immediate appointment.

Find the current dated conversation, coffee-morning and warm-welcome sessions across local libraries. The own page describes Normanton Conversation Café as free and open to all, with opportunities to chat and connect; it is not an accredited ESOL course or language-test certificate. Use the actual dated branch listing rather than assuming the activity runs throughout library opening. Check holiday notices and the correct branch before travel.

Free asylum helpline 24 hours daily,365 days.
The asylum-support service provides guidance about practical support, accommodation issues and relevant processes within its remit, with multilingual and sign-language information. Its current own page confirms the 24-hour free helpline. It does not decide an asylum claim or guarantee housing, money or a successful application. Local outreach and personal casework can have eligibility and referral conditions; no support form, personal record or call was submitted in this review.

Use the charity’s current refugee and asylum-seeker support information to find practical help, casework and the appropriate local route. Support depends on the actual service area, scope and capacity. The own page explicitly says the Red Cross cannot refer someone to the UK Resettlement Scheme or assess eligibility for it. This is an information and signposting route, not an open-access Derby office or a promise of funding, housing or a particular case outcome.

Use the free practice resources for reading, writing, listening, speaking, grammar and vocabulary alongside an appropriate local course. The same site advertises paid teaching, exam and other products, so distinguish these from free self-study materials. Informal online exercises do not automatically provide an accredited qualification or evidence for an immigration-language requirement. Check any actual course, price, assessment and certificate before purchasing; no paid service was used.

Practise English with the public broadcaster’s structured material, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, news and work-English resources. Select an appropriate level and format and check the terms if an external app or linked service is involved. Independent practice can complement a Derby ESOL group, but it is not a local taught place, an accredited examination result or a guarantee of progress.

The charity’s free legal-information toolkit explains asylum and immigration processes and links to chapters on evidence, legal support, destitution, eVisas and related issues. Use the current relevant chapter and distinguish legal information from individual advice by a regulated professional. Rules, deadlines and personal routes can change; the toolkit is not an application decision or a promise of permission. Do not use a historic downloaded chapter as proof of today’s law.

Use the current advice directory for immigration topics, such as family visas, EU Settlement Scheme issues and proving status, and follow the actual guidance for the relevant circumstances. Online information does not establish that a particular local volunteer is authorised to conduct every kind of immigration work. Check current regulated advice where needed, especially for deadlines or a refusal. No application, identity document, payment or personal legal assessment was submitted.
