Neighbourhood Watch is the largest volunteer-led crime prevention charity in England and Wales. With over 60,000 active volunteers and over 2 million supporter households, we work with local communities across England and Wales to empower, educate and bring people together.
Each region is divided into police force areas, helping Neighbourhood Watch support communities at both regional and local levels.
In each area, whether it be nationally, regionally, or local, we all have the same vision, mission, and values.
On a national level, Neighbourhood Watch is supported by the Central Support Team and Board of Trustees.
On a regional level, Associations will support Neighbourhood Watch and these are led by local people, volunteering their time to support our movement.
On a local level, Neighbourhood Watch groups are run within communities by local volunteer Co-ordinators. Local Neighbourhood Watch schemes work in a variety of ways that reflect the needs of the local community.
This includes:
- Sharing crime prevention advice and information
- Running local awareness campaigns
- Organising community events
- Supporting schools and young people
- Community messaging with the police
- Community projects such as litter picks and cafés
