Since September 2009, 28 volunteers have committed their Friday nights to actively live out their faith in Reading Town centre, engaging with young people and late night pub and club revellers.
Street Pastors "patrol" the town centre streets from 1030-0330 ensuring the safety of people out and about, looking out for those who may be vulnerable, who have drunk too much, signposting people to taxi ranks, being available to listen to people, to support those who are in need, or need assistance, being a calming influence on the night time economy - offering a very practical service to the town. And more importantly bringing God's unconditional love to the town centre.
...and yes we hand out flip-flops to those who cant walk home on 6inch stilettos and yes lollipops too!!
