“In her Angolan Portuguese family, everyone can dance, and from the start of our friendship, Angelina managed to convince me that I didn’t have two left feet. She’s turned her passion into dedication. Learning to dance has improved my fitness, helped me to make new friends, given me confidence and relieved a lot of stress.” – Anne Grange

“Croft House Settlement is run showing friendly consideration towards its users. Roger has supported us from day one and has allowed Mulembas to feel at home at this beautiful building. May this essence never change and may we continue to dance together, in joy.”

Founded in 2006, Nisha Lall Dance provides multicultural dance classes. They want to get people moving and make dance accessible to the wider community.

We are a long-standing concert wind band, originally established in 1888 and we now consist of around 35 wind and brass musicians. We’re an entirely self-supporting organisation whose income is generated from members’ subscriptions and concert fees. We rehearse at Croft House every week and perform in and around South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire at venues such as Chatsworth House, Brodsworth Hall and Weston Park Bandstand.

“The band has a stable and loyal membership with an age range of 13 to 80 plus. At the moment we have vacancies for cornet\trumpet & trombones and we welcome enquiries from players eager to come and join us in these sections. Uniform and all music are provided.” – Judith Wallace, Musical Director

“Croft House supplies its members with a safe and secure environment in which to meet. We have always been made to feel welcome and the staff is very pleasant to deal with. The recent refurbishment has given Croft House a welcome facelift and it is now a pleasure to use the rehearsal facilities.” – Anne Huggins, Band Secretary
