Whittlesey and District Neighbourhood Watch

Our Story

In 1982 the first scheme in the UK, known as Home Watch, was set up in Mollington, Cheshire. From there we grew from strength to strength.

Neighbourhood Watch representatives formed local, county and regional groups. In 2007, with the support of the police and the Home Office, the first national umbrella organisation (Neighbourhood and Home Watch) for the movement was established. Our focus was on building local Neighbourhood Watch community groups which liaised with the police and focused on reducing burglary and other home and personal crimes.
