As a charity, we support local Neighbourhood Watch groups and 90,000 volunteers across England and Wales. We do this with only a small staff team of less than 10 people. As with any charity, we need funding to continue the great work we do and support communities to prevent crime and thrive. You can see more about the difference we make within communities and individual lives in our annual impact reports. We rely on your generosity so we can keep making a difference.  

There are simply ways in which you could help fund us today. You could choose to shop with us, join our lottery or make a regular or once off donation. Every small contribution helps.

We are making this a better place to live. Together.

Find out more about the Community Safety Charter

The aim of the Community Safety Charter is to involve a wider range of local organisations, charities, businesses and groups in crime prevention activity and extend the scope of this work towards the goal of eliminating harassment, antisocial behaviour, and intimidation experienced by anyone who lives, works, studies, or visits anywhere in England and Wales. The Community Safety Charter is a means by which Neighbourhood Watch members, local residents, businesses, and organisations, agree to do whatever they can together to provide an environment that is safer for everyone.
