Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and able to be themselves. Hate crime targets people for who they are, and it is never acceptable.
Throughout the year, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Dr Fatima Eltinay has been meeting with communities across Derbyshire to better understand their experiences and concerns. This has included visits to Derbyshire LGBT+, engagement with Muslim Safety Net, and speaking with students at colleges across the county about community safety, inclusion and the impact of hate crime.
These conversations reinforce the importance of listening to those affected, encouraging reporting and ensuring support is available when it is needed most. 💬
Whether it is verbal abuse, threats, criminal damage or online harassment, hate crime can have a lasting impact on individuals, families and communities.
If you've experienced or witnessed hate crime in Derbyshire, support is available and you are not alone.

Black History Month is an opportunity to celebrate contributions, reflect on experiences, and for our team to highlight the importance of ensuring support services are accessible to all communities.
Through funding from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, The Nsibidi Project CIC is delivering a community-led mental health programme for young Black and African heritage men in Derby called #FadeTherapy.
The project takes place in familiar spaces like barbershops, where participants can have their hair cut whilst having open conversations about mental health, identity, masculinity, exploitation and anti-social behaviour.
Delivered alongside trained wellbeing practitioners and local barbers, the programme helps break down stigma, encourage conversation, early intervention, and provides signposting to further support where needed.
By supporting initiatives such as this, we can help ensure more people feel able to access support, build resilience and thrive.
🎥 Watch the video to learn more about the project and the positive difference it's making in Derby.

Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts recently visited Citizens Advice North East Derbyshire in Clay Cross to learn more about its Digital Connect project, which supports residents across North East Derbyshire, Bolsover and Chesterfield to build digital skills, access technology and confidently navigate online services.
The project helps people overcome digital exclusion by providing practical support on everything from accessing NHS and government services to developing computer skills, using online banking and learning how to stay safe online. Internet safety is a key part of the support on offer, helping residents build confidence in the digital world.
The visit forms part of Cyber Security Awareness Month, highlighting the importance of helping people access the opportunities the digital world provides while understanding how to protect themselves from fraud, cyber crime and online harm. 🔒
As the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners' National Joint Lead for Economic and Cyber Crime, Fraud and Online Safety, Nicolle is committed to supporting initiatives that help people stay connected, informed and secure online. 🤝
By working together with community organisations such as Citizens Advice, we can help ensure more people have the skills, confidence and knowledge they need to make the most of digital services and stay safe while doing so.
