Our Board

NHWN Board

L to R: Dr John Perkins, Lynn Farrar, James Maddan, Alastair McCrindle, Ron Taylor

The Neighbourhood & Home Watch Network (England & Wales) is a registered charity and a Limited Company run by a Board of Directors.

Our Directors are Mr James Maddan (Chair), Ms Lynn Farrar (Vice Chair/Secretary), Mr Alastair McCrindle (Treasurer), Mr Ron Taylor and Dr John Perkins.

The Board liaises with an Advisory Group made up of one volunteer representative from each of the nine English regions plus Wales (making 10 members of the Advisory Group in total). Each regional representative is chosen by Neighbourhood and Home Watch in the region itself by whatever method suits them. The only condition is that they must be a member of Neighbourhood or Home Watch and they must not be a paid member of police staff.

The role of the Advisory Group is to liaise between grassroots Neighbourhood and Home Watch groups and members in their regions and the NHWN Board of Directors. This involves, among other things, feeding back 'news and views' from the regions to NHWN and keeping members in the region informed of developments at a national level.

Within each region there are a number of police force areas - 43 in total across England and Wales. Each force area has a volunteer Neighbourhood or Home Watch representative who assists the regional representative in linking with individual Watch groups.
