Opportunities at Nottinghamshire Police
Opportunities to work for the police were the focus of a special event held at
the Signpost to Polish Success Community Centre, Radford Nottingham on Thursday 24 January.
Members of the Polish Community had the opportunity to meet with Police Officers
and staff and talk about what it is like to work for Nottinghamshire Police.
The event at the Community Centre is part of a series of recruitment awareness
events held by Nottinghamshire Police to particularly encourage people from
communities that are under-represented in the force to apply for upcoming job opportunities.
These Awareness events focus on:
- Why Positive Action is important
- The importance of representing the communities we serve
- The day to day job as Police Constable
- Progression opportunities
- Staff network support
- The recruitment process
- Support in preparation and throughout the process.
Dont worry; if you missed this event; Nottinghamshire Police will be will
holding a further two events in February:
Monday 18 February, 5pm- 7pm
Venue: Mansfield Civic Centre, Chesterfield Road
Tuesday 19 February, 5pm- 7pm
Venue: Bassetlaw Community Voluntary Service,
The Old Abbey School, Priorswell Road
Assistant Chief Officer (Resources) Margaret Monckton said: “Its crucial
that our organisation truly represents the diverse communities we serve.
It is right that we actively encourage people from minority groups to consider
joining the force and I hope we will see high levels of interest.”
Of course, all applicants need to have the right skills and attributes
to do the jobs we advertise. Its up to us, though, to demonstrate the breadth
of opportunity that the force can offer, whether it is as a serving police officer
or as a member of our police staff.
“These events are designed to generate that initial interest in a career with the
force. We will have staff and officers at each session to talk about the work they
do and to answer questions about the recruitment and application process,
and the support we can offer to all applicants.”
Join us to make Nottinghamshire a safer place to live, work and visit.
Both events are ‘drop-in’ sessions, for more information, go online at

Nottingham Trent University Fine Art Degree Show 2012
A private view took place at the Nottingham Trent University on June 1st 2012 for the Fine Art Degree Show.
The third year students have reached the end of their course and are showing there final work for the degree show.
As an artist I was interested in going along to interview some of the up and coming Contemporary artists here in the
East Midlands today. I ask myself, What is really making artists tick in today’s world of Contemporary art? Through interviewing
a handful of artists, I quickly came to the conclusion that perhaps we are all human after all and it could be that we like, want or are drawn to simular things in life.

Become a trustee of SPS
Charities are led by a Board of Trustees, who are the people responsible for ensuring that a charity complies with all necessary rules and legal obligations and has a clear strategy.
Trusteeship is a great way to make a significant difference to a charity.
Becoming an effective and inspiring trustee is a journey and a great challenge.
As a trustee you could help a charity improve people`s lives.
Being a trustee can also build your social contacts, broaden your CV experience or get you involved in something completely new.

The Signpost To Polish Success 27 April 2010
The Signpost To Polish Success
SPS was established in 2005 to support the New Arrivals from Eastern Europe – mainly Polish migrants - after the EU enlargement in 2004.
SPS was initially a community group, in November 2008 it became a charity.
We are based in Tennyson on Forest Rd West, a prestigious conversion of a long derelict property carried out by NDC.
SPS’ services aim to enable a more effective integration into British society of Eastern European, mostly Polish migrants, in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands.
SPS service provision consists of:
- English language courses – we also teach citizenship and local knowledge so our learners understand more about the local society in which they now live and make a contribution;
Our courses are accredited; we are a member of Enable.
We currently run 2 classes, one on Monday evenings and one on Tuesday evenings and we are at the moment preparing our learners for exams.- See Photos

- Read More
- The newspaper was launched in March 2007, initially it was entitled “Nottingham po Polsku”, then - in response to the reception given to the newsletter, it was enlarged and renamed “East Midlands po Polsku” (the East Midlands in Polish).
The newsletter aims to inform new arrivals about local issues, such as the need to register with local councils and how to vote, the British education system: Primary, Secondary Schools and Further Education Colleges, British Health Care, the British Budget and Tax Codes. Our newsletter is now an established and eagerly awaited publication that over time has come to play an important part in the lives of Eastern European migrants in the East Midlands. We receive comments from our service users such as: "In my place of work we all read "East Midlands po Polsku" on our breaks". The estimated readership is 10 000, The Polish Consulate in Manchester prints our newspaper and distributes it at its premises.
East Midlands po Polsku
- Administration of www.empp.co.uk; since June 2009 we have our own website, in January alone this website was visited over 20 thousand times.
- Organising meetings, social gathering, events, developing a sense of community and working towards community cohesion. We succeed in organising our social activities thanks to the commitment of our volunteers. We have, for example, organised the trips around Nottingham, Derbyshire, Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, London.

- Our social activities contribute to the creation of a sense of community amongst the recently arrived migrants. They have contributed towards the newcomers developing a better understanding of the host society, assisted in their integration and encouraged positive interactions with the host population as well as nourishing friendships amongst the new arrivals, generated a sense of community spirit and as a consequence a more positive attitude towards the society in which they now live.
- In August 2009 SPS organised FestiWal 2009 – A Community festival with a Polish Flavour, www.festival.empp.co.uk
It was the first free festival celebrating Polish and other cultures in Nottingham.
- Read More
- The Polish Government has designated 2009 the year of promotion of Polish culture in the UK and we decided to promote the culture of the new arrivals and celebrate diverse and cosmopolitan Nottingham by organising our FESTIWAL 2009.
The weather on the day could have been better but still we can state with confidence that the festival was a huge success. We estimate that we had 1000 people at the period of peak attendance and 3000 people attending throughout the day.
A Community festival with a Polish Flavour
Festival DVD. The initial funding for the festival came from the Polish Parliament, then local funding providers supported us (see leaflets for more info). The Festival was a success because many organisations and people came together and forged working partnerships. We worked closely with a Polish NGO Semper Polonia, Nottingham City Council, the Polish Consulate, Chilled Produce, Asian Arts Council, New Art Exchange, Refugee Forum, Nottinghamshire Police, Nottinghamshire County Council, Nottingham Crime and Drugs Partnership, NHS, REC and the Commission for Equality and Human Rights. We also involved a large number of volunteers in the preparation of the festival and on the day.
We have 3 full time employees: a Project Co-ordinator, an Information and Advice Project Worker and an Outreach and Development Project Worker, one part-time ESOL tutor, a committee consisting of 7 members and a core group of invaluable volunteers.
We have an established relationship with the Polish General Consul in London and Manchester, which means that we can provide our group users with first hand information that is important to them as Polish nationals living in the UK.
Members of our group have been invited to join several committees, advisory groups and attend meetings.
We were able to start delivering our services in 2006 thanks to the funding we received from NDC and NCF.
In the second year of our existence SPS received further funding (Awards for All, NDC, NCF, Enable) which enabled us to provide an enhanced level of service provision.
Our ESOL courses became accredited and the information provision developed.
Throughout this period SPS had nurtured the further growth of a sense of a community amongst the new arrivals.
