Street Pastors

Street Pastors are trained volunteers, often from churches, who patrol public areas during evenings and nights to provide assistance, support, and a calming presence. Their roles include offering help to those in distress, helping vulnerable individuals, providing information, and collaborating with emergency services when needed. They promote safety, reduce harm, and foster community well-being by being visible, approachable, and caring in public spaces. Their work is rooted in compassion and a desire to look out for others, contributing positively to the safety and cohesion of urban environments.
