Report of the trustees
for the year ended 31 March 2016
The trustees (who are represented by 'the Board' throughout this report), who are also directors of the charity for the
purposes of the Companies act, have pleasure in submitting their annual report together with the audited
financial statements of the Charitable Company for the period ended 31 March 2016.
The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and
Reporting by Charities" issued in 2015 in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and was incorporated on 5th April 2011 with the
registered number 7592594. The charity is governed by a constitution whilst the company is governed by a
memorandum and articles of association. The charity is also known as Neighbourhood and Home Watch
Network (England & Wales) or NHWN.
The objects of the charity are to:
Promote for the benefit of the public good citizenship, community safety and greater public participation in
the prevention and detection of crime, and;
Promote public support for the work of the police service and other partners in the protection of people and
property from, and the prevention of, crime.
The old stereotype of the Neighbourhood Watch curtain twitcher is wrong for one very simple reason: it implies fear.
Neighbourhood Watch is about the opposite: making sure that no one has to feel afraid, vulnerable or isolated in the
place where they live. It’s about people looking out for each other, crossing barriers of age, race and class to create
real communities that benefit everyone.
To explode another myth, Neighbourhood Watch groups are owned and run by the people in their communities, not
the police. So the approach taken is entirely up to the individual. The most impressive Neighbourhood Watch
achievements result from members looking closely at the needs of their communities and meeting them with
innovative and creative thinking, working in partnership with the police and partners.
The results can really be something to be proud of. Communities where Neighbourhood Watch operates become
more friendly and cohesive and, research shows, experience a fall in crime.
The Board liaises with Regional Representative Groups made up of one volunteer representative from each of the
nine English regions plus Wales (making 10 members of the Regional Representatives Group in total). Each
regional representative is appointed by Neighbourhood and Home Watch in the region. They must be a member of
Neighbourhood or Home Watch.
The role of the Regional Representative Groups is to liaise between the grassroots Neighbourhood and Home
Watch groups and members in their force areas and the NHWN Board. 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 NHW associations - 43 in total across England and Wales.
Each force association has a volunteer Neighbourhood or Home Watch representative who assists the regional
representative in linking with the individual Watch groups in each area.
If upon the winding-up or dissolution of the company there remains, after the satisfaction of all its debts and
liabilities, any property whatsoever, the same shall not be paid to or distributed among the members of the company
or charity, but shall be given or transferred to some other charitable institution or institutions having objects similar to
the objects of the company, and which shall prohibit the distribution of its or their income and property to an extent
at least as great as is imposed on the company under or by virtue of Memorandum Clause 43 hereof, such
institutions to be determined by the members of the company at or before the time of dissolution, and in so far as
effect cannot be given to such provision, then to some other charitable object.

Report of the trustees (continued)
for the year ended 31 March 2016
Background
Since coming to the UK in the early eighties, Neighbourhood Watch has evolved into wider regional associations
and finally, a coordinated national network.
The Neighbourhood Watch movement in England and Wales has been around since 1982 when the first group
started in Mollington, Cheshire. By 2007 a previous national body had folded and many members felt the need for a
new organisation to share best practice, foster peer learning and provide a voice for the movement at a national
level. A series of exploratory meetings and events were held in each region of England and Wales, involving
representatives of Neighbourhood and Home Watch at both force and regional levels. Delegates were invited to
discuss and vote on their preferred way achieving a new form of representation at the national level for
Neighbourhood & Home Watch Network in England and Wales.
Members representing all of the ten regions agreed overwhelmingly that:
a) They wanted to see a regional and national structure.
b) They wanted a force area Neighbourhood/Home Watch representative to go to regional meetings.
c) They wanted a regional Neighbourhood/Home Watch representative or a deputy to go to national meetings.
After the proposal was accepted by the National Strategy Group for Watch Issues in April 2007, the result was the
Neighbourhood & Home Watch Network (NHWN).
The Neighbourhood & Home Watch Network, England & Wales (NHWN) represents all Home Watch and
Neighbourhood Watch members across England and Wales. It is the body that engages with the Home Office and
other partners at the strategic level.
This structure continues to this day in the form of the charitable company known as the Neighbourhood & Home
Watch Network.
Trustees responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance
with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair
view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources,
including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial
statements, the trustees are required to:
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures
disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any
time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements
comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable
company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
There is no relevant information of which the charitable company's auditor is unaware; and
The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant
audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

Report of the trustees (continued)
for the year ended 31 March 2016
Risk management
The Board consider the main risks facing the charitable company on a continuous basis. The Board use
insurance policies to cover possible losses from either damage or other loss. The Board continuously review the
income into the charitable company and attempt to replace any lost funding with new or existing sources. The
Board are satisfied that the policy adopted in respect of risk exposure is sufficient to mitigate any impact.
Public benefit
The trustees are highly conscious of the need to provide the best possible public benefit in line with charity
commission guidance and this is undertaken in a number of ways:
Initiating contact with groups from all areas of England and Wales and providing support and administrative
services to members of all communities regardless of colour, race, creed or wealth; and
Contributing to safer communities for all by empowering local residents in the fight against anti social
behaviour and crime; and
Supporting local police forces in their duties; and
Training a dedicated team of volunteers from all walks of life, giving structure and confidence to those who
require assistance.
Board of Trustees and organisational structure
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by the Board of Trustees, who are also directors
for the purpose of the Companies Act.
The Trustees who served during the year are listed on page 1.
The Board is responsible for the oversight of the management of all the affairs of Neighbourhood & Home Watch
Network (England and Wales). They are subject to election or re-election in accordance with procedures set out
in the charities governing documents
Trustee recruitment and appointment is on the basis that new appointees are familiar with both the
responsibilities of being a Trustee and a detailed nature of the organisation.
The company shall have power to provide indemnity insurance to cover the liability of the Board of Trustees, which
by virtue of any rule of law would attach to them in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of
trust of which they may be guilty in relation to the company. The insurance shall not extend to any claim arising
from any act or missions which the Board of Trustees in reckless disregard of whether it was a breach of duty
or not. The insurance shall not extend to the costs of an unsuccessful defence to a criminal prosecution brought
against the Board of Trustees in their capacity.
Appointment policy
The Board may by ordinary resolution at a general meeting appoint a Board member who is willing to act as a
co-opted Trustee and Director. The Board also determines the rotation in which any additional directors are to retire.
As governed by the constitution, there must be no less than 2 Board members but not more than 10.
Board members are sought with relevant charity and career experience which benefits the charitable company and
to assist in the pursuit of the charitable company's objects.

Report of the trustees (continued)
for the year ended 31 March 2016
Review of activities / Funders and supporters
In 2015/16 the Home Office continued to provide funding to support the central office and five members of staff as
well as the Public Liability Insurance (PLI) cover for the members with a grant of £275,000.
The charitable company continued to work with the Home Office at a strategic level, holding regular meetings to
discuss important issues with the government on behalf of the grassroots membership.
An additional grant of £5,500 from the Home Office was received in 2015/16 for additional work to complete the
segmentation project. The project was a new Home Office self-assessment tool which identified the level of risk of
the person of becoming a victim of cybercrime and fraud. The project focused on the person rather than the crime
with advice and guidance being targeting to their specific awareness and mind set. NHWN worked with Action
Fraud and our supplier VISAV to roll out the self-assessment, with 53,000 people undertaking it across England and
Wales. NHWN are currently working with partners to offer targeted crime prevention advice for those most at risk of
becoming a victim of cyber-crime and fraud.
The charitable company secured sponsorship for the third consecutive year from Avocet Hardware (UK) Limited –
manufacturers of the 3* TS007 ABS lock. With Avocet, NHWN worked together supporting campaigns and
promoting the importance of home security. The sponsorship has allowed the charitable comapny to develop and
design a new website and refresh the Neighbourhood Watch branding and trademark.
In December the charitable company held a Stakeholders Consultation and Engagement conference called ‘The
Way Ahead’, which was entirely paid for by corporate sponsorship. This included covering the travelling cost for all
the volunteers attending from England and Wales. Delegates from across Europe also attended the event.
The charitable company’s operational costs were covered by the core funding and along with sponsorship income
received in the year, managed to carry forward a surplus on activities of £130,151 in 2015/16, which includes
surplus from previous years.
At the end of the year, a primary sponsorship agreement with the Co-op Insurance was secured to help raise the
profile of both organisations rebranding and organisational aims and objectives. The Co-op has agreed to fund
500,000 new window stickers which will be launched for National Neighbourhood Watch Week in June 2016, along
with contributing to the printing of 500,000 Members Guides.
Future activities
The charity has secured annual funding at a slightly higher amount (2%) compared to last year of £280,000 for
2016/17 from the Home Office to cover core activities. However, NHWN need to further diversify income to ensure
that the financial risks are reduced if the funding is reduced or ceased in subsequent years by the Home Office.
Ongoing work continues to attract new sponsorship to increase the total income throughout the year with ERA
replacing Avocet as the exclusive hardware primary sponsor in June 2016. Both ERA and the Co-op Insurance
have committed to a five and three year respective agreements with NHWN, lending itself to more resources
focused on the delivery of the outcomes of the agreement rather than negotiating renewals or new sponsors each
year.
Working with new sponsors gives the charity the opportunity to provide the members with a high quality service
including the intention to provide local websites linked to the new National Website, free logo licences, leaflets,
members’ guides and window stickers. Additional income is expected from print suppliers paying an annual fee for a
licence to be able to promote themselves to take commissions for printing items with the new trademark. This
revenue will be ring-fenced to help protect the misuse of the trademark going forward.
The Trustees are satisfied with the current financial headroom within which the charity is operating and are
confident that the organisation will continue to grow and provide an invaluable community driven service for all
Force Area Associations and their members into the foreseeable future.
There have been considerable changes to the paid staff team within Q4 of 2015/16 which lead to some disruption
and delay in delivering some of the key activities within the strategic plan. However, this created an opportunity to
review the charitable needs and to identify gaps in the skill set and experience of the team.

NEIGHBOURHOOD AND HOME WATCH NETWORK
Report of the trustees (continued)
for the year ended 31 March 2016
Future activities (continued)
Recruitment was initially unsuccessful but a recruitment agency was commissioned, with two new posts – Police
Liaison & Strategic Partnerships Director and Community Engagement & Memberships Director due to commence
at the beginning of July 2016. Further new posts will be recruited into 2016 to focus on the national scheme register
and an apprentice. By having a strong, relevant and skilled paid team in the national office, it is envisaged that
further funding can be identified and secured in line with the NHWN 5 year Strategic Plan (2015-20).
At the AGM in July 2016, it is hoped that NHWN will dissolve the Charity and Company to become a Charitable
Incorporated Organisation (CIO) which is a new form of legal entity designed for non-for profit organisation in the
UK. This will be under the name ‘Neighbourhood Watch Network’ whereby regions will become disbanded and each
police force area will be eligible to vote if they have signed up to a Partnership Agreement with NHWN.
Reserves
Obviously if core Home Office funding were to be withdrawn, the charitable company will need significant further
outside funding / sponsorship in order to continue which it currently does not have.
Whilst there is no indication that funding would not continue to be forthcoming from the Home Office from April 2017
onwards confirmation of this will not be made until after the 31 March 2016 accounts have been signed off. As such
the charity's going concern basis can only be judged on funding levels to 31 March 2017.
In light of this the charity has a 5 year strategic plan with the aim to annually increase the general reserves level, via
additional funding streams, up to a sufficient amount to cover the charity's running costs for at least a full 12 months.
Currently the financial headroom would only cover core costs for 3 months. Sponsorship Agreements with ERA and
the Co-op Insurance are in place for subsequent years, allowing NHWN to be more confident over unrestricted
funding into 2017/18 and beyond.
Auditors
A resolution proposing that Moore Thompson be re-appointed as auditors of the charity will be put to the charity's
Annual General Meeting.
Small company provisions
The report of the Board of Trustees has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the
Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity
and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Respective responsibilities of the trustees and auditors

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to
give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by
fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the charitable
company's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by the trustees; and overall presentation of the financial statements. In
addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Report of the trustees to identify material
inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements
or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.
Opinion on the financial statements
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2016, and of its
incoming
•
resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2016
1. Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015), the Companies Act 2006 and follow the
recommendations in Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to
charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities
published on 16 July 2014, the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE), and the Charities Act
2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure
has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable
to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities
published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended
Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Incoming resources
All income is recognised in the statement of financial activities when the conditions for receipt have been met
and there is reasonable assurance of receipt. Where a claim for repayment of income tax has or will be made,
such income is grossed for the tax recoverable.
Grants are recognised in the statement of financial activities when the conditions for receipt have been met.
Investment income is accounted for in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt.
Donations and all receipts from charitable activities are reported gross and are accounted for on a receivable basis.
Gifts in kind
Donated goods, facilities and services are recognised as income in the statement of financial activities when the
following criteria are met:
- Entitlement: Control over the expected economic benefits that flow from the donation has passed to the charity and
any performance conditions attached to the donation have been fully met.
- Probable: It is more likely than not that the economic benefits associated with the donated item will flow to the
charity.
- Measurement: The fair value or value to the charity of the donated item can be measured reliably.
Resources expended
Expenditure is included in the statement of financial activities on an accruals basis and has been allocated as
detailed below:
Charitable activities include the costs of the activities defined by the charity's aims for the benefit of the persons
sited in the charity objects. Costs of charitable activities includes the direct costs of the activities and
depreciation on related assets. Where such assets relate to more than one functional cost category, they
have been allocated on either an estimate time or floor space basis, as appropriate.
Costs directly attributable to a project have been allocated to that project. Other non-allocatable costs such
as salaried employees and other fixed nature overheads have been reallocated on the basis of a management
charge.
Governance costs include the costs which relate to the general running of the charity as opposed to the direct
management function inherent in generating funds, service delivery and program or project work.
Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated to write down the cost, less estimated residual value, of all assets over their expected
useful lives. The rates generally applicable are:
Website development
Straight line over 3 years
Page: 11
NEIGHBOURHOOD AND HOME WATCH NETWORK
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
for the year ended 31 March 2016
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost, less estimated residual value, of all tangible fixed assets over
their expected useful lives. The rates generally applicable are:
Office equipment
Fixtures and fittings
25% reducing balance
20% reducing balance
Fixed assets
Fixed assets are included at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme
are held seperately from those of the charity. The annual contributions payable are charged to the
statement of financial activities.
Operating lease agreements
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risk of ownership remain with the
lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Restricted funds
Restricted funds can only be used for the specific purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise
when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Expenditure which
complies with these criteria is identified to the fund.
Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds are donations and other income received or generated for the objectives of the charity
without further specified purposes and are available as general funds.
