Community champions were invited to Force Headquarters in Ripley as special guests of Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Dr Fatima Eltinay to formally recognise their achievements in the latest round of the PCC’s Safer and Stronger Communities Fund.
In total, 30 charities, community groups and voluntary organisations secured grants in the second phase of the scheme, each receiving up to £5k to tackle issues that residents have prioritised in PCC Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts' ongoing consultations.
Projects securing funding during this round include street-based youth engagement pop up sessions to divert young people from ASB, community workshops on domestic and sexual violence and financial abuse, targeted training and toolkits for care homes and residential support services to increase awareness of domestic abuse in relation to older people and anti-knife crime education through sports as a powerful medium for change.
Other prevention schemes supported include mobile CCTV units to improve safety and reduce ASB, targeted support for people living in supported housing, basketball mentoring for young people, and digital safety training to protect vulnerable residents from online fraud, romance scams and cyber-crime.
Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Dr Fatima Eltinay said: “The Safer and Stronger Communities Fund was created to empower those who know and understand their communities best to make a lasting difference for future generations. While the application process was robust and competitive, I am confident those organisations who have succeeded will bring far-reaching benefits to victims, potential perpetrators and wider society, assisting those who need help most to change course.
“Community spirit is the lifeblood of safe and strong communities, and I am excited to see these projects take shape in the weeks and months ahead and report back the dividends.”

Working in partnership to prevent domestic abuse is a key priority for the OPCC and that’s why Deputy PCC Dr Fatima Eltinay was delighted to join the great team at Space Counselling in Chesterfield to explore how their specialist services are supporting women, young people and schools across Derbyshire.
They have been awarded £4,890 through the first round of the OPCC Safer and Stronger Communities Fund to deliver a dedicated counselling service focused on tackling domestic abuse and supporting women to build healthier, safer futures.
The funded project will support women through counselling and workshops covering healthy relationships, financial planning and life coaching, alongside a coaching programme for female victims of domestic abuse that helps build supportive networks and empowers women to move forward positively with their lives. ❤️
👩🏫 The project also includes the delivery of a flexible prevention toolkit for schools, teachers and support staff, aimed at preventing domestic abuse, as well as targeted work with young people to explore relationship pressures, coercive control, sexual harassment and how to seek help and leave unsafe relationships.
Fatima was keen to highlight the importance of early intervention, education and partnership working in preventing harm and ensuring victims and survivors can access timely, trauma informed support. 👥
👏 It was also an opportunity to personally thank the team at Space Counselling for their commitment to preventing domestic abuse and strengthening support for women, young people and families across Derbyshire.
