A team of Street Pastors is on patrol in Southampton City Centre every Friday and Saturday night from 10pm to 4am. They are backed up by a team praying at Street Pastor HQ, and by other supporters praying at home.
The volunteers making this scheme possible come from 30 churches across the city, and range in age from 20 to 78. They each go out one night per month.
The scheme runs in close cooperation with the Southampton Safe City Partnership and Licensing Link, who provide a radio that keeps the team in touch with door staff, the CCTV and the police on duty.
If you want to be a street pastor, join the prayer team, or just want to keep up with the latest news, please contact Richard Pitt.
A report on the first night out is on the News page.
