NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH WEEK ENCOURAGES COMMUNITY TOGETHERNESS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CRIME

More than two million members across the UK are coming together to celebrate Neighbourhood Watch Week from 3rd – 9th June.

Neighbourhood Watch was founded in 1982 and is the largest voluntary movement focused on crime prevention in England and Wales. The initiative empowers neighbours to work together to build safer, vibrant and inclusive communities, helping to prevent crime and make a positive and sustainable difference.

With more than 400,000 domestic burglaries reported last year, this upsetting crime ranks within the top five most common in the UK, which is why prevention remains a big focus for Neighbourhood Watch.

Take a look at this Crime Prevention Advice Leaflet for advice on security and how you can assist in making your neighbourhood as crime free as possible.
