These pages explain how Neighbourhood Watch works, nationally, regionally and at a local level.
Neighbourhood Watch is organised into three levels: national, regional, and local.
National
Supported by the Central Support Team and Board of Trustees. The Central Support Team provides resources and support to local groups, and the Board of Trustees sets the strategic direction.
Regional
Supported by Neighbourhood Watch Associations. These associations are led by local volunteers who work to promote Neighbourhood Watch in their region.
Local
Coordinators run groups in communities. Working with their neighbours to identify crime and safety concerns and to develop and implement crime prevention strategies.
No matter what level of Neighbourhood Watch you are involved in, you are all working towards the same vision, mission, and values.
