COVID 19 (CORONAVIRUS) - Changes to our Services

South Derbyshire CVS premises are currently closed to the public and visitors, and most staff will work from home. All of our group activities and most community based face to face services will stop for the time being.

Vulnerable people who are self isolating and who don’t have any family or friends locally, can now register for help via the Derbyshire Community Response Unit – they will then refer in to local services. Register online at www.derbyshire. gov.uk/communityresponse or by telephoning 01629 535091 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, Saturday 9am to 1pm).

Safer Homes South Derbyshire

What is Safer Homes South Derbyshire?

Safer Homes is working to improve security in the homes of elderly and vulnerable people.  The scheme works by giving advice on crime prevention and home security. In some cases we are able to install additional door and window locks and other appropriate equipment free of charge.

The scheme has been set up by the Safer South Derbyshire Partnership, which is operated on a day-to-day basis by South Derbyshire CVS.

Who can make referrals? Referrals for the scheme can come from any of the following:

•             Social Services - Adult Services

•             South Derbyshire District Council

•             Derbyshire Police

•             South Derbyshire Primary Care Trust

•             Housing Associations

•             Citizens' Advice Bureau (CAB)
