The Office of the Sussex PCC manages up to 45 dedicated volunteers who undertake vital duties for its Independent Custody Visiting (ICV) scheme. Unannounced visits are made by pairs of Independent Custody Visitors (ICVs) at varying times of the day and/or night to check on the treatment & welfare of people held in police custody. After every visit, the pair of visitors complete a written report form about their findings, which is then passed onto the ICV Scheme Manager at the Office of the Sussex PCC. ICV recommendations can require the police to make improvements for the welfare of detainees. Working as part of a local panel, they play a valuable role in maintaining public confidence in this important area of policing by making sure that detainees are treated well. Representatives from the community are recruited and appointed on a geographical basis to visit the five police custody centres including Eastbourne and Hastings.

Chiddingly Village Shop and Cafe are seeking a volunteer with expertise or a background in finance, who can assist with reading the financial records and the work of their accountants. This would involve not only understanding the information yourself, but helping the rest of the trustees and management in interpreting reports.
This role involves teaching basic IT skills, and guiding carer's who aren't quite as confident at using a computer and/or the internet through the actions they require. This can be online shopping or banking, using a program to call over the internet, helping to set up an NHS online account or maybe email address. It's suitable for anyone who has a decent grasp of IT, but is also a good communicator who is patient and understanding. This will take place at the carer's home, and will usually last for two hours each session for up to six weeks.
