NHW Schemes and their associations

 "BurtonJoyceBlogger"

In today's social media, websites particularly NHW origin are beginning to feel the "pinch" in the number of visitors they expect,  receive., together with those who choose to continue to return repeatedly

Once attracted to the site ( and ACTUALLY attracting visitors to a website is a totally different issue ) the answer is all down to the INSTANT interest stimulated within the visitor via the initial content of the page, immediately in front of them. this will invariably be the site 's HOME page

It follows that this HOME Page must visually attract and appeal. Attractive images are vital on any website page, particularly the '"landing' page" as the HOME PAGE is often referred to. It is both necessary to ATTRACT. INTEREST & INFORM from the FIRST MOMENT on the landing page, in order to create "stick ability" and stimulate the visitor into journeying further into the website and most importantly RETURNING in the future

This situation mirrors the fact that NHW schemes an Co-ordinators hesitate, "nay" resist the coming together as Associations at national, regional & county levels. The individual NHW schemes and their Co ordinators appear to be quite sceptical of any possibility from benefits in joining in with other schemes and are sceptical of  the "would be" benefits of promised by larger group/asociation dynamics.

I must add, that after my brief first hand experience of the situation, I have also reached the same conclusion - Why ? and what is the better alternative.

There appears to be a mistaken conclusion that larger associations are better equipped to obtain financial donations and thus provide some aid and financial support to the local NHW schemes. Yes ! These associations do have various degrees of success in achieve varying degrees of financial support - some quite gross in their size. However very little of this really ever actually benefits and percolates down to the majority of NHW scheme members or their Co-ordinators

In fact, many individual NHW schemes and their Co ordinators are definitely and distinctly opposed/sceptical of any "suggested" benefit available via "upper" NHW administrations, which is probably why the vast majority of NHW schemes and their Co ordinators choose to remain "below the vision line", keep their head down and get on with their own individual "community contribution"

The only genuine association needed is that which results from the real/meaningful permanent bonding/association/support between each and every individual NHW scheme/Co ordinator and their "local Police Neighbourhood Beat Team".  

The engagement between these two community components (in both direction) has always been seen as vital by many, on both sides, for with a ongoing will from both sides it can, produce and established the development of  permanent cost effective Neighbourhood Community Crime Prevention and Solving

 However it does need, a renewed ongoing and genuine effort by BOTH parties
