🌳 Communities brought together at Derbyshire Neighbourhood Watch’s Big Lunch 🧡
Today, Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts, and Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner, Dr. Fatima Eltinay, were pleased to attend the first ever Big Lunch at Arboretum Park in Derby. Marking the end of Neighbourhood Watch Week 2026, the event truly showcased the strength and spirit of communities across the county.
The day brought together over 1000 residents, families, community groups, and partner organisations for an afternoon of connection, conversation and celebration. With a free lunch, children’s activities, face painting and a wide range of community stalls, there was a fantastic atmosphere and something for everyone to enjoy.
The visit also highlighted the invaluable contribution of Neighbourhood Watch volunteers, whose dedication helps strengthen community ties and support safer neighbourhoods throughout Derbyshire.
Events like this demonstrate the power of working together and the difference strong, connected communities can make.

Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts has paid tribute to the dedicated volunteers on her team and the hours of service they contribute to keep the public safe.
As the nation observes Volunteers’ Week (June 1-7), the Derbyshire PCC said unpaid volunteers remained integral to her vision for a safer, stronger and more inclusive county and praised their achievements in building trust and confidence in policing services.
At a special celebration event this week the PCC personally thanked her volunteers for their hard work throughout the year and expressed her appreciation for the passion and dedication they invest in their duties.
There are currently 20 volunteers directly supporting the work of the Police and Crime Commissioner, regularly contributing hours of service over the past 12 months.
Many of the volunteers serve as Independent Custody Visitors (ICVs) and some have more than one scrutiny role. ICVs work as part of a team making unannounced visits to police custody suites where people are brought and held following arrest.
They check how well detainees in custody are being treated and report their findings back to the ICV scheme manager to ensure the PCC can action any recommendations for improvement.
Other volunteers sit on the PCC’s Stop and Search Scrutiny Panel and around five are members of the county’s Animal Welfare Scheme (AWS), who undertake a similar role to ICVs to ensure Derbyshire’s police dogs are cared for appropriately.
Nine volunteers currently sit on the PCC’s Custody Detention Scrutiny Panel. On this panel, members receive unprecedented access to material retained by the police to scrutinise a range of different custody areas such as policies and procedures, use of force and disproportionality, and report their findings back to the Commissioner.

Our recent Volunteer Recognition Event brought together OPCC volunteers, colleagues and partners to celebrate the dedication, passion and impact of those who give their time to support communities across Derbyshire.
Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts expressed her heartfelt thanks to all volunteers, recognising their invaluable contribution in giving their time, energy and commitment to helping ensure Derbyshire Constabulary operates fairly, transparently, and in line with legislation and best practice. She also extended her gratitude to ICVA, as well as the force, for their ongoing support and guidance across our volunteer schemes.
We were delighted to be joined by Temporary Deputy Chief Constable Michelle Shooter and Assistant Chief Officer Andrew Price, along with Louise Crawford, Animal Welfare Scheme Coordinator at Dogs Trust, who helped mark the occasion and celebrate the achievements of our volunteer community.
The event was a fantastic opportunity for volunteers to connect, reflect on their achievements over the past year, and to thank and celebrate our volunteers.
❤️ Thank you to each and every one of our volunteers – you make a real difference.
