Stockport Neighbourhood Watch Association

Organisation description:

The aim of the Neighbourhood Watch Network is to build safer, stronger and more resilient communities where crime and anti-social behaviour are less likely to happen. Stockport Neighbourhood Watch Association is the link between the national organisation, ‘Our Watch’, and individual schemes in the Stockport area. In Stockport there are about 120 schemes run by coordinators. Their size varies between around 20 houses to whole housing estates. Some have regular meetings, annual meals and such, others do not. Some have Facebook groups, others communicate via email, WhatsApp or such or even have an old-fashioned paper newsletter which is posted through doors. We aim to support these schemes and to encourage potential new ones. We have a starter pack for new schemes, and we arrange meetings with informative talks and the opportunity to network and share ideas. The SNWA has a committee consisting of four executive officers: Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. These officers are elected at the Annual General Meeting. The Executive Officers can co-opt volunteers as admin assistants to help the committee. These assistants are designated as General Committee Members. We are currently looking for a Secretary and anyone interested in being an admin assistant. See below for what is involved.
