NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH SCHEME COORDINATOR

REF: 67eec7932a4a6

Role

The scheme can cover a street, part of a street, or even a whole housing estate. Each scheme is unique and run by its coordinator (deputies as well if it’s a large one), with some holding regular meetings and others prefering to stay in touch via email, WhatsApp, paper newsletters etc.
It's up to you what is best for your street.

The idea is to promote neighbourliness by encouraging members to keep an eye on each other’s homes and possessions, also giving special consideration to supporting vulnerable neighbours. This has the byproduct of creating local communities and can result is the creation of social events such as street parties etc.

If you are interested in starting a scheme we have a starter pack which includes introductory cards, window stickers etc. and obviously any advice you need.

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.
