Introducing Cambridge Neighbourhood Support and 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, emergency preparedness and wellbeing for our community.”

The Safer Cambridge Trust operates Cambridge Neighbourhood Support (register HERE) and the Cambridge Community Patrol.

Neighbourhood Support (NS) works to create safe, resilient and supportive communities. The prime objective of Neighbourhood Support is to connect neighbours and to get them talking about safety and emergency readiness in their area.

Our Community Patrol (CP) partners with the Police to maintain the safety of residential and business spaces and communities.

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.

We try to reach all members of our community with rural safety meetings, subsidized first aid campaigns, children's programmes and more...see our blog and News and Events pages.

As a charitable trust we are wholly funded by grants and donations. We appreciate any support large or small. (See our Donation page)

If you are interested in connecting with your neighbours or wish to volunteer for our community patrol, please contact us on 021 266 9653 or email info@safercambridge.co.nz.

Please also “like” our Facebook page so that you can stay up to date with crime prevention and other tips: Neighbourhood Support Cambridge on Facebook .

Let us help you to create a well-connected, safe and resilient neighbourhood – in other words, a great place to live!

Warm regards, Eileen Hawkins (NS), and Neil Bridgland (CP)
