Thank You to those who attended the Humber Watch Conference during Neighbourhood Watch Week

We would like to thank everyone who attended the Humber Watch Conference during Neighbourhood Watch Week. The event celebrated the invaluable work of volunteers across the Humber region who coordinate their own Neighbourhood Watch schemes. It also showcased how the Neighbourhood Watch Force Association (Humber Watch) can further support these efforts.

A special thank you goes to our guest speakers:

Jonathan Evison, Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner: Mr. Evison opened the event with an inspiring speech, sharing his vision and plans for the next three years in office. His commitment to enhancing community safety and supporting Neighbourhood Watch initiatives was clear and encouraging.

Cheryl Spruce, Partnership Manager from the National Neighbourhood Watch Network: Cheryl  highlighted the extensive support available for Neighbourhood Watch across the country. She detailed the online resources, access to the coordinators’ Knowledge Hub, and the exciting future plans aimed at strengthening community watch efforts nationwide.

Sgt. Kevin Jones, Humberside Police: Sgt. Jones provided an in-depth overview of the Rural Crime Task Force Team. He shared the significant work and outcomes the team has achieved since its inception, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between the police and community volunteers in tackling rural crime.

The conference was organised by Neighbourhood Watch leads from all four unitary authority areas across the Humber region, ensuring a well-rounded and comprehensive program. The dedication and effort put into organising this event were evident and greatly appreciated by all who attended.

Thank you once again to our speakers, organisers, and most importantly, our volunteers. Your commitment to community safety and support for each other is what makes the Neighbourhood Watch initiative so impactful. We look forward to continuing our work together and achieving even greater success in the future.

If you didn’t manage to attend the event, we will be sharing a video featuring all speakers over the coming weeks.
