About KCNWA
Kent County Neighbourhood Watch Association (KCNWA) is a Company Limited by Guarantee. Company Number 4718245 and it is also a Registered Charity, Number 1103915.

KCNWA has a board of ten Directors and a Company Secretary.
There are ten NhW Associations covering the whole of Kent and each elects a representative to sit on the board of KCNWA. These are the Directors of the Company as well as being the Trustees for the Charity.
All business transacted complies with the Companies Act and in accordance with the Charities Commission.
The board meet monthly to conduct the business of KCNWA

The Company was formed and registered as a Charity, both in 2003, on the advice of the then National Neighbourhood Watch Association, which has now been superseded by the Neighbourhood and Home Watch Network (England and Wales).

Neighbourhood Watch is a Community Project

• Owned by the COMMUNITY
• Run by the COMMUNITY
• For the COMMUNITY

KCNWA is the body elected by the movement in Kent to represent its interests. Examples of its duties are,

• Dealing with strategic issues, centrally with Kent Police on behalf of NhW. An example being the negotiation of the first in the UK, Service Level Agreement that sets out the expectations of both organisations to and from each other.
• Representing the interests of Kent NhW on the South East Regional Forum. A group who meet quarterly, and is made up of 3 nominated representatives from each of the County Associations, from within the following police forces of Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire and Thames Valley. These meetings aim to identify and share good practice as well as ensuring the regions voice is heard nationally. Our County Watch Liaison Officer (at present PC Mick Wright) also attends these meetings as a non-voting participant, in order that we continue to achieve total transparency with our police partners. David Alford also attends the police meetings representing KCNWA in a non-voting capacity, equally showing total transparency and commitment..
• KCNWA through the creation of an annual Action Plan /Business Plan seeks to identify funding streams to support the work of KCNWA.
• KCNWA continually seeks to identify partners who share the same ideals and objectives of NhW. Examples of this are KCC Clean Kent, KCC Trading Standards, Kent Fire and Rescue Service and Dog Lost. The search for appropriate new partners will always remain a priority of KCNWA.

NhW in Kent is seen by many as one of the leading counties in the UK, a badge that is very proudly worn. KCNWA aims to ensure that it is always at the forefront of new initiatives in ensuring the effectiveness of its partnership with Kent Police. It is the collective effort of everyone involved at street level which will ensure that Kent is a happier and safer place in which to live.
