Streets Pastors… bringing peace to our city centre

Street Pastors is a countrywide initiative set up by the Ascension Trust which provides support and training. The first volunteers in Peterborough started work on 13 December 2008 with the support of the City Council, police and other local agencies

Saturday night out with Street Pastors in Peterborough sees volunteers from local churches going out into the vibrant night time economy. They chat to those they meet – customers, taxi drivers, door staff, licensees and police officers.

Street Pastors are volunteers from local churches going out into the vibrant night time economy. The teams of four people work from 10pm to 4am every Saturday. Their aim is to provide practical help and support for those enjoying a night on the town. They offer water to help with rehydration, flip flops to protect the feet (for when the high heels have become too painful), they can also offer basic first aid. They also pick up glass and bottles left lying around to avoid them being turned into weapons.

In addition Street Pastors offer a reassuring presence and will help you or your friends that have been separated to find each other, or wait with a single female until her friends have been found, or put her in a taxi home.

”It is not just about the practical help, but also to engage, care and listen for all we meet, including door men, taxi drivers and clubbers. People often become very emotional when they are drunk, and we provide that caring listening ear, and most are of them are very happy for us to pray with them for their problems”
