Neighbourhood Watch Scotland visited staff from Wheatley Homes Glasgow on Monday 2nd September to talk about the benefits of bringing communities together and neighbourliness.
Stronger, more resilient communities start with relationship building and part of this includes information sharing.
Staff from Neighbourhood Watch Scotland will be attending the Garnock Valley Carves event at Beith, North Ayrshire, on Saturday 7th September 2024, taking place between 10am and 5pm.
The team will join members of Beith Orr Park Neighbourhood Watch, including the Co-ordinator who organised the event. For more information please see the photograph and following link:

A huge thank you to our partners at the Scottish Illegal Money Lending Unit, Trading Standards Scotland and COSLA for the invitation to their 20th Anniversary Conference on Wednesday 28th August.
A few years ago the then Neighbourhood Watch (NW) Coordinator for my street, Denholm Road in Musselburgh, East Lothian, decided that they could no longer do the role. NW Scotland reached out to all the members of the Watch to see if any one of us was prepared to take on the role. As I didn’t want it it to fold and knowing it is a great scheme, I took it on.
About 4 years ago, due to several housebreakings in our street some neighbours decided our Street should join Neighbourhood Watch Scotland (NWS) and I became the NWS co-ordinator.
Exceptionally helpful and friendly NWS staff helped me with this process.
