Our 2025–26 Impact Report is here – celebrating what we've achieved together

Hello Resident

Today, we are delighted to share our Neighbourhood Watch Network 2025–26 Impact Report.

This report celebrates everything we have achieved together over the past year and showcases the incredible difference made by our members, volunteers, Coordinators, Association Leads, partners and supporters across England and Wales. It demonstrates how, together, we are creating safer, stronger and more connected communities through our shared commitment to Watch, Connect and Act.

Over the past year, we have continued to grow and strengthen our movement, supporting millions of households, launching our new five-year strategy, delivering innovative projects, working alongside police and partners, and empowering local people to make a real difference where they live. None of this would have been possible without your support.

Inside the report you'll discover:

How over 2.3 million households are now a part of the Neighbourhood Watch movement.

The work of our Coordinators and volunteers who continue to make a positive difference in their local communities.

The impact of our crime prevention campaigns, community wellbeing initiatives, volunteer programmes, partnerships and community projects.

Inspiring stories from across England and Wales that show how local people are bringing neighbours together and making communities safer.

Our new 2026–2030 Strategy, centred around Watch, Connect and Act, which will shape the future of Neighbourhood Watch.

Every achievement featured in this report has been made possible because of people like you.

Whether you volunteer your time, lead a local scheme, support a neighbour, attend an event, work with us as a partner, or simply champion the values of Neighbourhood Watch, you are helping to make Britain a place where neighbours look out for each other.

Thank you.

We hope you'll take a few moments to read the report, reflect on everything we've accomplished together during 2025–26, and share it with your friends, family, colleagues and local community. The more people who see the impact of Neighbourhood Watch, the more communities we can inspire to join our movement.

As we look ahead, we are excited to build on these achievements and continue working with you to create communities that are safer, stronger and more connected than ever before. Thank you for being part of the Neighbourhood Watch family.

We have attached a copy of the report to this message and you can also click on the link to view our webpage, which has our new Impact Report and our previous ones too, https://www.ourwatch.org.uk/impact.

Please feel free to share our report with any of your networks, friends and neighbours.

With best wishes

Neighbourhood Watch Network
