The Wales Safer Communities Network is proud to stand with organisations across the UK in support of ASB Awareness Week 2025, a national campaign running from 30 June – 6 July to take a stand against anti-social behaviour (ASB) and promote safer communities.
Led by Resolve, the UK-wide leading organisation on ASB, the week is backed by Resolve members, HM Government, Local Government Association, and key partners including the National Police Chiefs’ Council, National Fire Chiefs’ Council, Neighbourhood Watch, the Premier League Charitable Fund, Association of Police and Crime Commissioners and others.
Now in its fifth year, ASB Awareness Week 2025 highlights the impact that ASB has on victims and communities, raises awareness of the support available to victims, and promotes partnership working, bringing together councils, housing associations, police, charities, youth organisations and community groups, reflective of the fact that everyone has a role in tackling ASB.
Recent research from YouGov, commissioned by Resolve, found that:
- Nearly 1 in 5 people have considered moving home due to ASB.
- 1 in 10 have actually moved.
- Despite this, over half of those who experienced or witnessed ASB did not report it.
Rebecca Bryant OBE, Chief Executive of Resolve, said:
“ASB is not low-level. It can have a devastating and long-lasting impact on individuals and communities and often escalates to increasingly harmful behaviour.
“We are delighted that the Wales Safer Communities Network is backing this vital campaign. It is only through strong local partnerships that we can meet the growing challenge of ASB and ensure people feel safe where they live.”
If you are affected by ASB, you can report it to your local council’s ASB team or call the police if you are in immediate danger. Don’t suffer in silence—help and support are available.
