Nicolle recently attended the ‘Let’s Celebrate Deaf Women Together’ event at Pride Park in Derby on #InterntionalWomensDay.

The event was specifically for deaf, deafblind and hard-of-hearing women across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire and allowed Nicolle to present to around 350 women on her role as PCC, the work she is doing to support organisations like Deaf-initely Women and all the women they help. 🧏‍♀️

The core message of the event was to look at preventing abuse against deaf women and to promote a safe life free from abuse. To help spread the word and raise awareness, Nicolle highlighted the services and support in place for women to report crime including via the 101 and 999 British Sign Language services, as well as GoodSam and the 999 ‘Silent Call’ feature. 🔇☎️

Speaking to people throughout the event, Nicolle met many women and explained what she is doing to reduce violence against women, including the funding she provides to Deaf-initely Women for their Deaf Abuse Free service. ⛔️

Recently Nicolle visited Swadlincote to see the team at South Derbyshire CVS to see the work they do in supporting local people and improving their quality of life through the services they provide.

Although the demand for the service is high and the Community Voluntary Support team faces its own challenges, Nicolle heard how there is more work taking place with other key partners in South Derbyshire, including working with Derbyshire Care to support those who are digitally isolated to help reduce loneliness and to bring people together. 🔗

It was good for Nicolle to see first-hand some of the current projects that are underway, including through the Community Development Team to set up smaller groups to bring classes and lunch clubs to new areas across the district. 🥪

Nicolle recently visited Bakewell to meet with the Country Land and Business Association (CLA) to discuss issues relating to rural crime and her plans to make communities safer across Derbyshire. 🚜🚔

Members of the CLA put forward questions to Nicolle on issues relating to police visibility, crime reporting and what she is doing to improve police recruitment.

It was also an opportunity for Nicolle to explain the work of the Derbyshire Rural Crime Team, their commitments to keeping rural communities safe and the strategic work she is doing to support them and rural victims of crime. 🚨
