Neighbourhood Watch Community Meetings
Community, Coffee & Conversation
As part of our Neighbourhood Watch scheme, we will host regular meetings at the Martlesham Heath Pavilion and our Parish Room. These friendly gatherings will offer a welcoming space for residents to enjoy a coffee and a chat with neighbours.
Our aim is to reduce social isolation, encourage open conversations about local issues, and share valuable information on available services and crime prevention advice.
As our community grows, we hope these sessions will become a vibrant hub where we can explore topics of interest together and invite guest speakers to provide insight and support.
We also take pride in showcasing the incredible work of our local charities, who play a vital role in supporting residents and strengthening our wider community.
