About this group

Amnesty Wirksworth and District
Your local Amnesty International group in Derbyshire © Wirksworth and District Amnesty International Group

Founded in 2002 in the beautiful Derbyshire town of Wirksworth on the edge of the Peak District, we have become an important part of the local community. We hold regular events and meet on the third Tuesday of the month, often with a speaker or other activity. The venue, Wellspring Church, is just south of Wirksworth Market Square, on the main road through the town.

What we do:

  • Campaign to protect The Human Rights Act.
  • Support the worldwide abolition of the death penalty.
  • Positively promote the rights of refugees, asylum seekers and people on the move.
  • Campaign to stop violence against women.
  • Draw attention to human rights violations in South Asia.
