With some big changes at IOW Street Pastors over the last year or so we haven’t managed to produce a newsletter for a while, but we’ve remedied that now!  Our 2017 newsletter can be downloaded here.

We thought it was a good opportunity to update you on staff changes and also let you know what a typical shift on the streets or in Island schools is like for our volunteers.

We were delighted to welcome 11 more volunteers to the Isle of Wight Street Pastors’ team tonight. The new Street, School and Prayer pastors commissioned will help boost our existing patrols and allow us to keep serving people on the streets and in Medina College. It was also great to see such support for the Street and School Pastor initiatives here on the Island. Speeches from the police, school and Ryde Town Council all highlighted the value of our work in the local community. A big thanks to all those who attended and especially to our new volunteers for stepping up to serve in this way.

If you are interested in getting involved with Street or School Pastors please get in touch with us, we’d love to hear from you.

It’s nearly time for our AGM!  Anyone with an interest in what we do is welcome to attend, though only members of the charity are able to vote.
