NELwatch is all about bringing Neighbours, residents and communities across North East Lincolnshire together in ways that strengthen our local communities and maker them safer and stronger.
NELwatch is the online home for the North East Lincolnshire Neighbourhood Watch Network – essentially all things to do with Neighbourhood Watch in NEL.
NELwatch is also the home of all things related to Neighbourhood Networking led by VANEL across North East Lincolnshire.

Neighbourhood Watch – led by Karl Elliott at VANEL as the Membership Support Administrator (MSA) on behalf of Ourwatch (the national Neighbourhood Watch body).
Neighbourhood Networking – an umbrella term for all the work VANEL does alongside partners across the whole of North East Lincolnshire to connect neighbours and communities.
The Rural Neighbourhood Network – a programme run by VANEL (led by Karl Elliott) from 2024-2028 and funded by the National Lottery Reaching Communities Fund. We’re focused on rural wards of North East Lincolnshire.
NeighboursTogether is our online forum and discussion space about Neighbourhood Networking and Neighbourhood Watch. Visit it at:

VANEL is also part of Humberwatch – the collective partnership between all four regions in Humberside looking after Neighbourhood Watch. Karl Elliott is currently Chair of Humberwatch.
VANEL (Karl) is also funded by Fraudwatch to deliver scams/fraud awareness talks across NEL (over 40 talks delivered to date).
