“The community supporting the community … that’s where its strength is”: exploring the contemporary position of Neighbourhood Watch in the United Kingdom

What is it about?

Neighbourhood Watch is a voluntary movement which brings people together with the aim of creating safer, stronger, and more active communities. Over its 40 year history in the UK it has developed to be responsive and adaptable, drawing on the benefits of flexible membership models and online technologies to expand its reach. However, this must continue to operate alongside traditional face-to-face, in-person methods in order to achieve meaningful community engagement.
