Benefits of Neighbourhood Watch

Neighbourhood Watch can help you:

  • address local concerns
  • turn your problem into a shared problem
  • work together to make the community safer
  • collaborate with other Neighbourhood Watch schemes, the police and community partners
  • get a discount on your home insurance (in some cases)

Thinking of starting a scheme?

Talk to your neighbours to see if they are interested.

Neighbourhood Watch works best when:

  • most people in the area take part
  • everyone understands the purpose of the scheme
