Humber Watch Association

As the Hull support for Neighbourhood Watch, Neighbourhood Network works closely with the three other organisations supporting Neighbourhood Watch Groups in the Humberside Police region, creating a nationally recognised body which is the Humber Watch Association.

The Humber Watch Association allow each local support organisation – in Hull, East Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire to come together in the sharing of best practice; develop a collective approach to addressing issues affecting local Neighbourhood Watch Groups; improve possible access to funding and develop long term strategy to increase wider community participation across the region.

The formation of the Humber Watch Association helps all organisations involved to develop more effective working with the police, for strategies to be aligned to keeping communities safe and for involvement from the public in creating safer neighbourhoods.

In June 2018, the first Humber Watch conference took place with over 100 Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators attending from across the Humberside Police region. This was then followed in July 2022 and again in June 2024 with coordinators and stakeholders coming together at the Neighbourhood Network’s community centre project. In 2024 attendees listened to key note speeches from current Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner Jonathan Evison, Humberside Police’s rural crime lead, Sgt Kev Jones and the Neighbourhood Watch Network’s Cheryl Spruce.
