This is interesting news for the UK’s Neighbourhood Watch groups and associations.
On October 23 -24 in Vienna a founding conference took place to launch the European Neighbourhood Watch Association (EUNWA). The EUNWA’s purpose is to act as umbrella organization for neighbourhood watch associations and similar organisations in various European countries pursuing the prevention of crime through cooperation among their members and with the police and other relevant local institutions and authorities.
I assume there were representatives from the UK at the launch and although there’s a link to the EUNWA on the UK’s Ourwatch site I can’t find a news item about them - It’s probably such a huge news article that I’ve missed it!
proNACHBAR, the first Austrian neighbourhood watch organisation, founded in 2007, has set up links with other European neighbourhood watch organisations and has initiated the foundation of this new Europe-wide association.
EUNWA are inviting others to join this new venture and I am sure the knowledge and expertise of the experienced neighbourhood watch groups of the UK will be able to make a major contribution.
Please visit their website to see how to join.
I also very pleased to let you know that we’ve partnered the EUNWA and you’ll find a link to them on our Partners page and in the Library.
We wish them the very best of luck!
