Some of the delights that await within this edition’s pages are:

Pastors Praised by Community Safety Partnership

The Isle of Wight Community Safety Partnership is a group drawn from the three main emergency services and aims to find better ways of keeping Islanders safe.  They are clear that Street Pastors have a positive impact on crime and anti-social behaviour issues:  “One agency that has had a profound effect upon (our) strategic objectives…is the ‘Street Pastor’ scheme.”   >>>read more

What Street Pastors do

Street Pastors are Christian volunteers who go out on the streets of Ryde and Newport town centres each Friday evening as a positive presence, offering practical help or a listening ear to people around the town centre.  Working until 2-3am, a typical evening could involve diffusing an argument before it escalates into violence, giving out flip-flops to revellers who can no longer walk in their high heels, calling an ambulance for someone who has fallen ill and talking to someone who feels lost and lonely.  >>>read more

Happy New Year

A phrase that’s heard over and over again at the start of each year, but New Year often starts in less than happy circumstances, with many people ending up spending the start of a fresh year in the gutter or a police cell.  Street Pastors were out in record numbers for this year’s New Year celebration to try and make sure everyone had a happy and safe start to the New Year.   >>>read more

Help Street Pastors

While all the Street Pastors are volunteers and give their time freely, we still have a range of other costs, and rely on voluntary donations to keep going.  We are particularly grateful to our regular donors who give £10 a month and ensure we can keep helping people on the streets each week.   >>>read more
