"Coming together as a neighbourhood was the best way to deal with the issue..."

Our 2025 Award!

The Safer Cambridge Trust is thrilled to announce that at the 2025 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

Thanks for visiting the Safer Cambridge Trust website. Our mission is to build a positive, well‑connected community where safety, preparedness and wellbeing thrive.

Since 2010, we’ve supported both town and rural areas through strong partnerships with NZ Police, Civil Defence, Neighbourhood Support NZ, Community Patrol NZ and other social agencies. We provide community patrols and neighbourhood support at no cost and advocate for safety on behalf of Cambridge residents.

Our Neighbourhood Support team helps neighbours connect, plan for emergencies and build resilient, supportive streets.

Our Community Patrol volunteers are out 6–7 nights a week, working closely with Police to keep homes and businesses safe.

Research shows that connected neighbourhoods reduce crime and lessen the impact of emergencies — and we see that every day.

If you’d like help connecting with your neighbours or improving safety in your area, contact us on 021 266 9653 or info@safercambridge.co.nz.

"Something that began with concern after a burglary has now sparked a wave of positivity across both streets." — Cambridge resident

Let us help you build a safe, resilient neighbourhood where you live!

Warm regards from the Safer Cambridge team
