A NEW UK-wide initiative arriving in Cardiff next week is encouraging communities to come together over free coffee, combining neighbourly connection with conversations around smart home security and the chance to win a Ring Video Doorbell.
The ‘NeighbourGood Café Tour’, a collaboration between Ring and the independent charity Crimestoppers, is travelling across the UK throughout 2026, transforming local cafés into welcoming spaces for discussions about neighbourhood safety.
The Cardiff event in Blossom Café takes place as Ring research of 2,000 people across the UK1 that reveals that 79% of residents in Wales believe a street where neighbours know each other and communicate regularly feels safer compared to one where neighbours keep to themselves. A further 47% of Welsh residents believe that installing security devices, like doorbell cameras, would make them feel safer in their community.
The café will open its doors on Saturday, June 27, 2026 from 10am-2pm at Blossom Café on Wellfield Road. Residents across the city are invited to visit and enjoy complimentary drinks while meeting neighbours, and representatives from Ring and Crimestoppers. The event will offer Cardiff residents advice on how they can protect their homes and communities together.
At each free event, neighbours can pick up their free hot drink before they have the opportunity to nominate local Ring Community Champions, share their own experiences, discover how smart home technology complements traditional community safety and learn from Crimestoppers about the value of anonymously passing on what they know, have seen or have heard about crime.
Ring’s research also shows that over three quarters of Welsh residents said they would likely share suspicious activity captured on a home security camera with their neighbours, while 69% said they’re confident their neighbours would tell them if something unusual happened at their property while they were away.
Hayley Fry, Crimestoppers Regional Manager South Central West, said: “Keeping a community safe is always easier when neighbours communicate with each other.
“The NeighbourGood Café Tour gives people a relaxed setting where these kinds of conversations can happen naturally.
“Crimestoppers is pleased to be working alongside Ring to bring people together in Cardiff and right across the UK, sharing advice and turning it into real, everyday actions that make local areas more secure.”
The NeighbourGood Café Tour kicked off in March covering Leeds, Birmingham and Greater Manchester and will continue to visit communities across the UK throughout 2026, including Reading and Milton Keynes. The next stop on the tour will be Cardiff on Saturday, June 27 10am- 2pm in Blossom Café.
The NeighbourGood Café Tour will also support a community charity in each location by donating £1,000 of Ring devices to a local good cause.
