"Coming together as a neighbourhood was the best way in dealing with the issue..."

Our Award!

The Safer Cambridge Trust is thrilled to announce that at this year’s Neighbourhood Support Conference, our team was honoured with the “Inspiring Community Leadership” Award!

This recognition celebrates our commitment to leadership, passion, and the ongoing promotion of neighbourhood connection, safety, and resilience.

The award is not just a reflection of our organization's efforts, but of the incredible support and collaboration we receive from the community every day. Together, we have built strong networks of trust, care, and resilience that make our neighbourhoods safer and more connected.

A huge thank you to everyone in our community who supports these efforts — this achievement is as much yours as it is ours!

Together, we’re building a safer, stronger Cambridge.

We would love to work with you to help you build safety in your area. Please get in touch!

Introducing Safer Cambridge Trust - Neighbourhood Support & Community Patrol

Hello Neighbours

Thank you for visiting the Safer Cambridge Trust website. Our mission is:

”to support and promote a positive culture that results in strong connections, safety, emergency preparedness and wellbeing for our community.”

The Safer Cambridge Trust has operated Cambridge Neighbourhood Support & Community Patrol since 2011, as well as advocating for safety measures on behalf of the community.

Our Neighbourhood Support team works to create safe, resilient and supportive communities. Their prime objective is to connect neighbours and help them to plan for safety and emergency readiness in their area.

Our Community Patrol volunteers patrol 6-7 nights each week and into the wee hours of the morning. They communicate and cooperate with our local Police to maintain the safety of residential and business spaces.

We have strong relationships with the NZ Police, Civil Defense and the Fire and Emergency services. We work together to minimize crime and antisocial activities and to prepare neighbourhoods for unexpected weather, environmental and other hazardous events.

If you would like to work with us to improve safety in your neighbourhood contact us on 021 266 9653 or email info@safercambridge.co.nz.

As a charitable trust we are wholly funded by grants and donations. If you like our work we would appreciate any support, large or small! (See our Donation page)
