Neighbourhood Watch in Cardiff is changing for the better. Cardiff West NHW Association has recently changed to South Wales Neighbourhood Watch, Cardiff which now covers all areas of the Capital.

To celebrate this change, there is a Launch Event happening right here in Whitchurch on Thursday November 17th at Whitchurch Community Centre in the hope of gaining new members and new Watchgroups.

There are many active Watches in Cardiff but there are equally some groups that are in decline and at risk of becoming dormant.
With the support of South Wales Police and National Neighbourhood Watch it is hoped that residents all over the city can work together on a street by street basis and look after each other and the surrounding properties.

The launch event is open from 3pm until 7pm and anyone can drop in during these times for a friendly chat and see why Neighbourhood Watch is so important and what they can do to make sure they get the maximum benefit for their street. People can come and talk to current NHW Co-ordinators, PCSO’s and officers from all over Cardiff and representitives from National Neighbourhood Watch.

To coincide with this event, a new website has been launched for the association: www.cardiffnhw.org.uk with the aims of helping existing NHW groups and to provide a platform for anyone interesting in joining a Watch group or if none currently exists in the area, starting up a new one.
Bringing Cardiff NHW into the 21st century they are embracing social media with a facebook page and a twitter account which should help keep members communicating on a frequent basis.
