Neighbourhood Watch brings neighbours together to create strong, friendly, active communities where crime and anti-social behaviour are less likely to happen. Their vision is that of a caring society that is focused on trust and respect in which people are safe from crime and enjoy a good quality of life. Neighbourhood Watch is about making sure that fewer people feel afraid, vulnerable or isolated in the place where they live.
Following a nation-wide survey, having more the 32,000 responses, Neighbourhood Watch were keen to identify whether membership of Neighbourhood Watch and the activity of Neighbourhood Watch coordinators has an impact on people’s experience and perception of crime, feelings of safety and their perception of their community. Without the skills in house to know even where to start with the data, the organisation got in touch with Link UP.
Neighbourhood Watch were linked up with data analysis expert, Xavier, who supported in helping to understand the results of the survey, revealing trends on the organisations impact in the community. The analytics also gave an insight into the effects of the Neighbourhood Watch per region across the UK.
Being matched with Xavier meant that Neighbourhood Watch were able to evidence their impact in the community, in addition to acting as a benchmark for future development and access to funding. It has meant that the Neighbourhood Watch can confidently speak about the real difference they are making across the UK.
