NWS had a fantastic time at the Border Union Show in Kelso today. A huge thank you to our partners at Police Scotland Scottish Borders and SPARC (Scottish Partnership Against Rural Crime) who allowed us to share their stall.
We had a great time today at the Sky Family Fun Day in Livingston, where we joined Police Scotland, Andy’s Man Club and The Boys’ Brigade who provided helpful information and advice and highlighted groups in the area.
We had a fabulous time today at Loch Lomond shores for the Water Safety Open Day hosted by Water Safety Scotland and partners where we joined organisations including Water Safety Scotland, RoSPA, RNLI, Scottish Water, Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS), SFRS Youth Volunteers and Trossachs Search and Rescue to name but a few.
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.
