“Crime cannot flourish in a community that cares”
Thanks for visiting our home page. Here is some information about Neighbourhood Watch and what we do on Canford Heath. Enjoy our website!
What is a Neighbourhood Watch?
- A Neighbourhood Watch helps to reduce crime and the fear of crime.
- It is about being neighbourly and looking out for each other, particularly those who are vulnerable.
- It helps to create safer and stronger communities.
- Some insurance companies give discounts if you join a Neighbourhood Watch.
- It gives you a feeling of being part of the community.
And what does Canford Heath Neighbourhood Watch do?
- It offers FREE membership.
- Gives out leaflets and information at its Come and Join Us stand which is run once a month on a Saturday from March-October (weather depending) at Adastral Square and the Neighbourhood Centre.
- Organises annual events like Keep Safe on Canford Heath. An event aimed at residents who want to keep themselves, their families and possession safe.
- With support from the police it can offer professional advice on staying safe and crime prevention.
- Through our local PCSO, it gives out Sorry to Hear Your News cards to Canford Heath residents who have experienced a crime against them.
- Produces quarterly newsletters, sends out email updates and posts on Facebook and Twitter.
- It raises funds by collecting used printer ink cartridges.
