About Holme Hall Edge Centre

Our Holme Hall Edge Centre building began as a purpose-built church, evolved into a nursery, and was about to be converted into a frozen food store when local residents Gemma Carneiro & Katie Meadows brough it to the attention of Carl Beech. Astounded by the injustice of the local community losing such an important space Carl and Edge Ministries managed to secure funding to purchase the building and save it for community use. After a lengthy financial and legal process spanning numerous years the doors to Holme Hall Edge Centre finally opened in the summer of 2022, and fast became a bustling hub of activity and impactful projects: hope and help for all.

About the Chesterfield Area

The Holme Hall estate in Chesterfield is home to council properties in the form of low rise flats, bungalows, and terraced houses. With a high level or drug misuse and unemployment the community at Holme Hall have little to no social support with no church, or public indoor spaces, and only two small shops for the entire estate. Unreliable public transport links have left local residents feeling cut off and separate from the nearby town of Chesterfield.

The CDRC’s Index of Multiple Deprivation identifies Holme Hall in the most deprived decile across England, that’s the bottom 10% in areas such as housing, education, health, and employment.

Holme Hall Edge Centre is overseen by our Chesterfield leadership team:

Gemma Carneiro, Katie Meadows, Carl Beech, Karen Tullett, Steve Martin, Lee Tuttle & Andrea Hutchinson.
