It's as simple as putting your postcode into the map tool, and finding where your local Neighbourhood Watch group is - it might be nearer than you think! If there isn't a group near to you, you can sign up as a member and register to start your own.
We offer advice and information on a wide range of crime types, including burglary, antisocial behaviour, harassment, rural crimes, and more.
Our toolkits provide a wealth of valuable information to homeowners and volunteers. They cover a range of traditional and modern crimes, and include expert guidance on spotting the signs, prevention techniques and where to turn, should you be a victim of crime.
With over 65,000+ active volunteers across England and Wales, our volunteers have been making a difference to their communities for over 40 years.
As well as crime prevention, our charity works to connect communities and bring neighbours together - it is well known that connected communities are more resilient, and local residents feel safer as a result. Read on to explore the impact of our work in local communities.
We are so thankful for our dedicated volunteers and the work that they do to support their communities. We have various options for you to become a volunteer with us, from long-term opportunities such as our Cyberhood Watch Ambassador roles, to shorter-term options, such as getting involved with a summer street fair.
As a volunteer with us, you will get support and crime prevention resources, opportunities to connect with other volunteers, and our monthly digital newsletter.
At Neighbourhood Watch, we are so thankful to our dedicated volunteers and the work that they do to support their local communities. There are various options for you to become a volunteer with us, from long term opportunities to shorter term ones, in specific volunteer roles, if that suits you better. As a Neighbourhood Watch volunteer, you will receive support, opportunities to connect with other volunteers, and bespoke resources in our monthly Volunteer News newsletter.
Volunteers also have access to our Knowledge Hub, an online platform jam packed with guidance and resources for Volunteers, including support on growing and maintaining local groups. The volunteer forum also gives volunteers the space to ask questions of, and learn from, other volunteers.
During December, a month when people often celebrate festivities with their family, friends, loved ones, and community, we want to encourage our supporters and members to reach out to their neighbours and say hello.
For some, December’s colder weather and longer nights can feel isolating - reaching out to say hello to your neighbour, especially if you know they live alone or are vulnerable, may make all the difference to them.
Staying connected with your community has mental health benefits too!
Research shows* that when people are socially connected and have stable and supportive relationships, they are more likely to have better mental and physical health. Social connectedness can also help create trust and resilience within communities.
