Greenwich Borough Neighbourhood Watch Association Coordinators toolkit:
Setting up a new Neighbourhood Watch Scheme
You’ve taken that first important step in deciding that your community would benefit from a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme.
First check to see if you’re already in an existing scheme.
The more people involved in running a scheme the easier the task.
Contact the people in your community to tell them about the new scheme and get their support and involvement.
The association can help you as long as we know about you!
Help advertise an active scheme by installing street signs and affixing stickers.
GBNWA arranges training sessions throughout the year for all registered co-ordinators to take part in.
Free Public Liability Insurance (PLI) cover is available for Neighbourhood Watch schemes and associations in England and Wales.
Running a scheme will incur costs such as producing newsletters, running a website or hosting meetings.
The GBNWA is unfortunately not able to provide funds direct to Neighbourhood Watch Schemes.
Once the scheme’s original objectives have been achieved, you’ll need to maintain the scheme.
