“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.

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.
  • 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.
