Hi!
Neighbourhood Watch (NW) is possibly the biggest voluntary organisation in the UK, with some 3 million Members. Why is NW so popular?
Firstly, it’s FREE to join (How? See below.)
Registered Members get prompt advice from the Police on local crimes and crime-prevention advice.
Our National website at ourwatch.org.uk is bursting with guides to staying safe in your home and in your community – making where YOU live a better place to be.
You can choose which other service-providers to get messages from, such as the PCC, Get Safe Online or the Fire Service. It’s your choice.
Perhaps best of all, having a NW Scheme in YOUR road helps to bring neighbours together with the common aim of making your area a more caring community.
Each NW Scheme is unique. Each is run the way neighbours choose it to be. NW provides the basic structure and support. The rest is your choice.
How is FREE to join?
The Police know from experience that NW actually works in deterring crime. Crime rates tend to be lower where there are NW Schemes. So a lot of the (modest) costs of running NW across the UK is funded by the Government, through the Home Office. In addition, a small number of concerned commercial enterprises donate funds too. But most of all, NW is FREE because it is almost entirely run by volunteers, with only a handful of paid employees in our London Head Office. Everyone else gives their time willingly to help keep their community safer.
So, PLEASE JOIN US.
It is very easy – just go to ourwatch.org.uk and register as a Member. If you want to set up a new NW Scheme in YOUR road, simply follow the steps shown on the website, and contact bucksnhw@gmail.com if you need any help or further advice.
YOU WILL BE VERY WELCOME!
