Street Pastors Kingston have a runner in the 2011 Virgin London Marathon. His name is David Greenfield. David will be running in the London Marathon in 2011 to raise money for Kingston Street Pastors. David has run five marathons before, so is an old hand at this. The aim is to raise upwards of £5000. The way we intend to do this is firstly, David has a target of £1500, and the rest of the team has the task of raising the rest. There will be an award for the person who raises the most for the race, excluding David as he is bound to get a head start. David is a member of St. John’s Church in New Malden. Sponsorship forms will be available from Paul Jacobs or by going to www.uk.virginmoneygiving.com. Enter Street Pastors Kingston into the charity search and follow the instructions. 

The Purple Flag scheme is the new "gold standard" being promoted by the Association of Town Centre Managers that recognises great entertainment and hospitality areas at night. Places that achieve the standard will be those that offer a positive experience to night time visitors and users. Just as Blue Flag is an indicator of a good beach and Green Flag a good park, Purple Flag is set to be the indicator of where to go for a good night out and will bring positive publicity for the successful town and city centres. Kingston is one of six areas that have received the initial Purple Flag awards, and Kingston Street Pastors have been recognised as one of the partnership organisations that have helped win the award.
