The aims of the charity are to:

  • Reduce burglary
  • Reduce repeat victimisation
  • Reduce the fear of crime
  • Increase feelings of safety and provide peace of mind

Why the community needs this charity

Because they work closely with Cambridgeshire Police, they are able to identify victims of burglary aged The Bobby Scheme60+ within 24 hours and can offer their security service immediately. They can then target crime hot spots in the county and secure the homes of non-victims aged 65+ in the area, thus reducing the likelihood of thieves returning to the vicinity. The Bobbies not only fit security equipment to the homes of the elderly but also give safety advice which helps victims feel safe in their own homes again. They offer the same service to non-victims for a small donation.
