TOGETHER WE THRIVE!
WE BELIEVE IT TAKES A VILLAGE.
Thrivemind Village started as an empty shop... Now, thanks to our fantastic volunteer collective, it’s a thriving, colourful, community hub; with a community fridge, pop-up vegan kitchen, an ethical shop stocked with the best regen gifts, organic seeds as well as our changemaker bookshop, a DIY hot drink station and a permanent space for children to play and parents to relax.
SUPPORT OUR MISSION
Thrivemind Village is a volunteer-led non-profit community resilience hub that provides space, resources and services to help communities lead healthy, just and regenerative lives.
WHAT IS THRIVEMIND VILLAGE?
Sharing the Harvest is a six-month documentary following Thrivemind Village CIC, a volunteer-led community hub in Derby, as we launched a community fridge, built relationships with local growers, rescued surplus organic food, and worked towards something bigger.
In our first year, we redistributed over six tonnes of food, feeding the, community, and exploring what a more regenerative local food system might look like. The film captures the journey from city centre hub to allotments, and the unexpected week our work was rewarded with a micro-farm.
This is a story about doing things differently, about the power of vision, of people and what's possible when you work together!

We’re growing fresh food for the community — and we’re looking for people to grow it with us.
No experience needed. Just come along, get involved, and be part of something meaningful!
TMV IS A VIBRANT, VOLUNTEER-LED COMMUNITY HUB, PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO BE THE POSITIVE CHANGE WE WANT TO SEE IN DERBY.
ROOM HIRE AT TMV
With a splash of colour beaming from the city centre, our joyful, vibrant community space brings people together.
POP-UP
COMMUNITY CHEFS!
Every month on a Saturday lunch time, a pop-up Community Chef will cook a meal in the TMV kitchen to feed the masses with exciting, nutritious vegan menus! Is this something you would love to do?
This is an opportunity for those who love to feed lots of people, those who are looking to test out their awesome vegan culinary skills and new menus and those who really appreciate working with local, fresh seasonal ingredients to create something healthy and delicious!
If you’re interested in flexing some vegan brilliance, then we want to hear from you!
In the meantime, come and get some lunch on Saturdays and see how the space feels.
