NOMINATED NEIGHBOUR SCHEME

Following recent incidents where bogus workmen have entered vulnerable people’s homes and stolen significant amounts of money, we ask you to help put a stop to bogus callers, by supporting your vulnerable neighbours to feel safe in their own homes and by protecting them from unwanted visitors using the Nominated Neighbour Scheme.

The scheme seeks the help of you as a NHW Coordinator, other neighbours or relatives, to check whether unexpected callers are genuine, especially those calling on more vulnerable members of the community.

Please talk to your vulnerable residents and help them to complete a Nominated Neighbour Card, to hold up to the window or door, this tells the caller that they do not recognise them and to go to their Nominated Neighbour. You or any other person nominated, can then check the caller's identity.

A genuine caller will not mind following the instructions on the card.

Nominated Neighbour Card

Thom Wiseman (York Neighbourhood Watch) is appointed as Vice Chairman of the Association.

Steve Law (Chairman) says: “I am very pleased that Thom has been appointed, after considerable time without a Vice Chairman.  Thom is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and will be an asset to the Association. I look forward to working with Thom to take the Association to the next stage of its development.”
