John Hayward-Cripps, Chief Executive of the Neighbourhood Watch Network, explained why we decided to launch this podcast:

As a charity, our aim is to build stronger communities and reduce crime. This podcast is an engaging way to deliver important messages to new audiences. Almost everyone has been a victim of crime at some point; it can be traumatic, but it is also a near-universal experience. These conversations are fascinating and insightful, spanning the full spectrum of human emotion. We hope the show will help our members, and many others, feel part of our community. 

Forthcoming guests include: Ruth Dodsworth OBE, sharing her experience of coercive control; radio star Andy Bush, whose parents were cruelly scammed; journalist Kaf Okpattah, provides insights into the murky world of card fraud; author Becky Holmes, discusses the growing problem of online romance fraud; and Bobby Seagull MBE, broadcaster, educator and writer, talking about street crime.

We’ve put a lot of work into this and hope that you enjoy it.
