Join us. Find my local NW. 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.
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.
Read impact stories from our members and volunteers. 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.
Romance fraud is when scammers use an apparent but false romantic connection or relationship to lure their victims into a false sense of security. If the scammer successfully persuades their victim to lend or give them money, they will usually come back with further reasons for needing more. Sometimes, the victim is asked to pass money from another country through their account β this may be money laundering.
