Funding raising advice

Neighbourhood Watch has evolved over the years and believes in the power of neighbours working together to build safer, vibrant and inclusive communities, help prevent crime and make a positive, sustainable difference in communities.

Local Neighbourhood Watch schemes work in a variety of ways that reflect the needs of the local community. This includes: sharing crime prevention advice and information; running awareness campaigns; holding social events and awards for local people and businesses; leading community projects, such as litter picks, a community café, flood defence response, presentations in schools and work with young people and children and community messaging with the police.

Norfolk Neighbourhood Watch and Norfolk Police are currently working on a project to relaunch Neighbourhood Watch across the county to increase the number of Neighbourhood Watch schemes and members, as well as strengthen the relationship between Neighbourhood Watch schemes and their local policing teams. We are also looking to change people's out dated view of Neighbourhood Watch and re-educate the public as to what Neighbourhood Watch is about.

To continue the work that we are doing going forward, we are looking for a volunteer to assist our Chairperson with widening our funding steams so that we can continue to support local Neighbourhood Watch groups in the work that they are completing in their communities.

Please do get in touch if you think you can assist either with ideas or practically with this.
