Neighbourhood Watch Scotland had a fantastic day on Castle Street, Edinburgh, taking part in the Shut Out Scammers event alongside valued partners:
- Police Scotland Edinburgh Prevention, Intervention & Partnerships
- Lothian Buses
- Age Scotland
Together, we engaged with members of the public, sharing practical advice on how to stay safe and avoid scams.
💬 Raising Awareness & Getting Involved
The event provided a great opportunity to highlight the work of Neighbourhood Watch Scotland:
We spoke with people about how simple it is to:
- ✅ Join or start a local Neighbourhood Watch
- ✅ Sign up to our free Neighbourhood Alert service for trusted updates and safety advice
👏 We were delighted by the interest throughout the event — including someone keen to set up a brand new Watch in their community.
🤝 Supporting Communities to Stay Safe
A big thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat — it was great to see such positive community spirit in action.
