Join us

Neighbours by chance. Working together by choice. We make this a better place to live. Together.

Our different membership models offer flexibility to suit you. At the heart of each one are you, your neighbours, and your community. Once you have joined as an Individual Member, you have the option to become a Scheme Member by either joining a local scheme or starting one up.

A HOST OF BENEFITS

INDIVIDUAL MEMBER

An Individual Member is anyone wishing to be part of the biggest voluntary crime prevention movement in England and Wales. Once you are a registered member of Neighbourhood Watch you may be invited to, or request to, join a local Neighbourhood Watch group; or choose to volunteer for Neighbourhood Watch. Individual Members can continue their membership even if they move areas or change groups; and there are a range of other benefits:

GROUP (OR SCHEME) MEMBER

A Scheme Member is someone who joins their local Scheme, headed by a volunteer Coordinator. We have over 90,000 Coordinators leading Schemes across England and Wales. Schemes can be physical Schemes covering your home, or virtual Schemes such as a Neighbourhood Watch Facebook group. Scheme Members can belong to one or more Schemes. All of the Individual Member benefits PLUS:
