Safer Neighbourhoods Board Partnership

Westway Trust is pleased to be supporting the Safer Neighbourhood Board (Kensington & Chelsea)

Safer Neighbourhood Boards (SNB) have become an important borough level mechanism for delivering local police accountability and engagement. Kensington and Chelsea SNB was established in 2014 by the London Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC). Its purpose is to give local people and victims a greater voice in establishing local policing and crime priorities, as well as monitoring police performance and confidence.

The board includes local people, Councillors, the Borough Commander (or their representative) and representatives such as Victim Support, Neighbourhood Watch, Local Authority, Young People, Independent Custody Visiting Panel, and the Stop and Search Monitoring Group. Through this strong community representation, the Board’s goal is to achieve a safer and more peaceful community within Kensington and Chelsea.

The Police and Crime Plan 2022/25 (PCP) commits MOPAC to continuing to support the work of SNBs.

For 2026/27 the SNB are inviting community groups and voluntary organisations that are properly constituted and provide services for people who live, work or study in Kensington and Chelsea to bid for funding of between £3,000 and a maximum of £4,000 to deliver projects and initiatives in line with the priorities and outcomes.
