NHW Stall at Hawaiian’s Melville Shopping Centre

Lyn Cuthbert, who has been a Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) committee member for the last 10 years, has regularly organised a NHW promotion stall at the Hawaiian’s Melville shopping centre. More than 200 community members visit our stall at this occasion and each one of them recognises Lyn Cuthbert very well – as if they wait to see her!

Despite having some medical issues, Lyn has continued with her community duty and coordinated the annual NHW stall at Hawaiian’s Melville Shopping Centre on 27 July 2024. The event was supported by NHW Chairperson Atul Garg, Committee Member Sebastian Mann and NHW Volunteer Deb Ferraro.

Plenty of NHW information material and fresh fruits were handed out, which were highly appreciated by the members of the public.

Father’s Day Celebrations at Bunnings Melville

As the Chairperson of the City of Melville’s NHW team for the last 16 years, Atul has initiated several signature events. One of them is the promotion of NHW in the local Bunnings Melville. Every year Bunnings Melville organise celebrations on Father’s Day and invite the NHW team to install anti-theft screws. The Melville NHW presence is highly appreciated by Bunnings, as well as the local community.

Atul Garg and Lyn Cuthbert participated in the recent successful Father’s Day event on 29 August 2024, with more than 100 people visiting the stall and actively engaging with the team. As always, the most popular items were the NHW bin stickers. Other popular items were the safety alarms – especially with the seniors and the elderly people.

The stall adjacent to NHW stall was the ‘Birds of Prey’ stall, who had a falcon with them – Atul used this excellent opportunity to get a picture with the falcon!
