Deputy PCC Dr Fatima Eltinay recently spent time at Salcare in Heanor, learning more about the charity’s community focused, frontline work supporting individuals and families across Amber Valley, Erewash and surrounding areas.
Salcare operates as a community one stop shop, providing vital support to individuals and families experiencing hardship, poverty and crisis.
During the visit, Fatima learned more about the organisation’s wide ranging work, including domestic abuse support, a foodbank and community pantry, a furniture warehouse and reuse project, a charity shop, and practical and family support for people facing housing transitions.
A key focus of the visit was Salcare’s work supporting victims of domestic and sexual violence, delivered through Independent Domestic Violence Advocates (IDVAs) and Independent Sexual Violence Advocates (ISVAs) funded through the Ministry of Justice.
These services provide specialist emotional and advocacy support, including tailored support for children and young people who have been affected by abuse.
Fatima also discussed the importance of partnership working to ensure victims and survivors receive safe, timely and trauma informed support, helping them navigate recovery and the criminal justice system 👥
👏 A huge thank you to the team at Salcare for their compassion, dedication and continued commitment to supporting victims and strengthening communities across Derbyshire.
