On International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, Derbyshire PCC Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts has reaffirmed her commitment to tackling drug harm across the city and county — a commitment firmly embedded as a key priority within the Police and Crime Plan.
As the OPCC lead for Drug Dealing and Substance Misuse, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Dr. Fatima Eltinay plays a central role in driving this work forward. She works closely with partners across the Derbyshire Alcohol and Substance Misuse Partnership (DASP) to strengthen prevention, improve support pathways, and ensure that local services — including 1625 Outreach — are equipped to help young people and communities affected by substance misuse. Her leadership reinforces the PCC’s commitment to a coordinated, partnership‑led approach to tackling drug harm across Derbyshire.
By investing in prevention and strengthening local partnerships, they are ensuring that Derbyshire continues to take a united, proactive approach to tackling drug dealing and substance misuse.
Today serves as a reminder that reducing drug harm is not the responsibility of one organisation alone — it is a shared effort, and one that the Commissioner remains committed to across the county.

Nine women have benefitted from specialist counselling and secure accommodation thanks to a homelessness project supported by Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts.
The Derbyshire PCC contributed £5k from the first round of her Safer and Stronger Communities Fund to the Canaan Trust to safeguard nine women experiencing homelessness in the Erewash area who may have also experienced serious violence including violence against women and girls (VAWG).
The women have received ongoing holistic support over the past 12 months including professional counselling to empower them to address and cope with their experiences and the impact these continue to have on their lives. 🤝
Alongside secure accommodation, the women have been supported to produce a plan aimed at rebuilding their lives and eventually achieving independent living including securing their own tenancies back in the community.
The Trust has also engaged with 31 women throughout the year who have been supported to establish independent living and secure and maintain tenancies as well as rebuild their lives in a safe and secure environment. 💬

The Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner, Dr. Fatima Eltinay, recently met with SAIL Derbyshire in Chesterfield to see first-hand the vital support they provide to survivors of sexual abuse and violence.
SAIL offers free, specialist counselling and therapies, alongside peer and group support for adults across Derbyshire. Their work helps individuals rebuild confidence, reduce isolation and support long-term recovery.
Through funding from the Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Victims Fund and Community Safety Grant, SAIL is expanding its support — increasing access to Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVAs) and delivering structured group sessions to help more people on their recovery journey.
📊 This support is making a real difference, with those accessing services reporting:
• Improved understanding of trauma
• Stronger coping strategies and wellbeing
• Increased confidence and self-esteem
• Greater sense of connection and reduced isolation
🤝 Visits like this highlight the importance of partnership working to ensure survivors receive the support they need, when they need it.
