Street Angels – roles may vary slightly from one town to another but overall we aim to keep people, who are on the streets safe. To assist those who are vulnerable, to help those who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, to offer any assistance we can to those sleeping rough.

Currently we are desperately short of volunteers, with three active volunteers and two who are on long term sick we are not able to send a team out each week we try to send a team out on the first and last Saturday of the month but vary things according to Bank Holidays etc

Due to depleted numbers we go out in pairs.

Volunteers are asked to offer one date per month and due to changed circumstances arising from Covid we are out from 9:00pm to around Midnight, possibly longer depending on any situations. 

We go out on a Saturday night.

Each volunteer brings their own skills to the task but volunteers need to be willing to come out monthly whether it is a busy or a quiet night, we cannot pre-guess how busy a night will be

Training is ‘on the job’ but we do have some joint training with Sunderland Street Pastors or organise special training sessions according to needs.
