Welcome to the Cheshire Neighbourhood Watch Association (CNWA) Website
Welcome
Please explore our website to find out how Neighbourhood Watch can help you feel safe and more connected to your community. Neighbourhood Watch is the largest voluntary crime prevention network in the UK encompassing around 2.3 million households.
Neighbourhood Watch groups have supported and enabled individuals and communities to be connected, active and safe for over 40 years. We have grown in strength since the first UK scheme was established in Mollington, Cheshire in 1982, to the largest UK crime prevention charity that we are today.

Let's clear the air, Cheshire!
Neighbourhood Watch isn’t about spying, reporting trivial behaviour, or overstepping boundaries. That’s the "TV version."
The reality? We are a preventative social infrastructure. We are about:
Shared Awareness: Distributing verified alerts to stop cybercrime.
Community Cohesion: Building local networks where neighbours actually know and support each other.
Proactive Safety: Promoting tools like the Hollie Guard App to protect our residents.
Modern neighbourhood safety is collaborative, not confrontational. It’s about being a Knowledgeable Neighbour.
Join the movement that started right here in Mollington in 1982!
