We’re proud to celebrate the incredible impact of the Barbershop Therapy Sessions in Derby — a project helping men open up about their struggles, emotions and everyday challenges.
Funded through Nicolle’s Safer and Stronger Communities Fund, the initiative has already seen almost 50 men attend the first six sessions, providing a safe, familiar space for honest conversations and emotional support.
The sessions, delivered by the Derby Nsibidi Project, encourage “cuts, conversations and community” — breaking down barriers and helping men build trust, confidence and resilience. Many participants describe feeling more able to talk about their mental health and connect with others in a meaningful way.

A huge well done to everyone involved. This is exactly the kind of grassroots, community led work that makes Derbyshire safer, stronger and more connected.

Sexual assault survivors in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire can be assured they will receive the highest possible standards of forensic healthcare, following the outcome of an independent national inspection.
Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) are specialised medical clinics for children, young people and adults who have been sexually assaulted or raped.
They provide trauma-informed care 24-hours-a-day and undertake medical examinations to collect evidence to help secure justice.
Following a rigorous inspection last year, the adult SARCs in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, both run by Mountain Healthcare, have now received UKAS accreditation for meeting the Government’s stringent standards in forensic healthcare.
Mountain Healthcare is believed to be one of the first providers in the SARC sector to receive a UKAS recommendation for accreditation.
