Whether you have been affected by crime – or you know someone who has – this website could help. It offers advice for those affected by crime and will provide support, information and advice for the public and victims of crime alike. If you have been the victim of a crime, it is important that you understand the steps that come next and how to receive the support you need.

Scams don’t just target individuals — they impact whole communities. That’s why Rural Action Derbyshire is leading the Communities Against Scams initiative, helping rural residents stay informed, vigilant and supported.
Backed by annual funding, this work is delivering in-person events, talks and roadshows to a wide range of groups — from rural communities and tenants to integrated care teams — ensuring advice reaches those who need it most.
The initiative helps communities to:
🔍 Recognise the signs of scams
🤝 Support vulnerable neighbours
🏘️ Build scam-aware communities
🎓 Access training and practical resources
Whether it’s phone fraud, doorstep scams or online deception, raising awareness is key to prevention. 📞

The Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts recently visited Infinite Wellbeing CIC in Heanor to learn more about the impact of a project previously supported through the Safer and Stronger Communities Fund.
Funding helped the organisation deliver weekly face-to-face engagement sessions for young people, providing a safe and supportive space where they could build friendships, develop practical skills and access positive opportunities that helped divert them away from anti-social behaviour.
Through the project, young people were encouraged to get involved in community activities, volunteering and leadership training, helping them gain confidence and develop valuable skills for the future.
The sessions also provided important education around youth crime and community safety, covering issues such as violence, knife crime, drugs and alcohol, and bullying through engaging and thought-provoking workshops.
During the visit, the PCC heard about the positive outcomes achieved through the project and the difference it made to young people and the wider community. Initiatives like this demonstrate the value of early intervention and the important role local organisations play in creating safer and stronger communities.
Thank you to Infinite Wellbeing CIC team for the warm welcome, and for sharing the lasting impact through the work they do in the community.
