Weston Street Pastors - Annual Report 2018

Well, what a year Street Pastors have had, andso much to give thanks to God for: we have trained 12 new volunteers,who are part of our Saturday night teams caring, listening and helping those who are vulnerable on Saturday nights.

Another 2 volunteers are coming to the end of their comprehensive training schedule, which they have enjoyed, and welook forward to welcoming them to our teams in the new year.

We have also appointed 3 new Trustees whose role is to  help ensure that we comply with legislation as well as participating in the decision making process.

Finally we have been blessed with a new treasurer who has all the skills we need to look after our finances. We are so grateful.

We continue to chat with people on the streets on Saturday nights, and often encounter those who have been helped or know someone who has.  Recently we encountered a man who comes from Manchester, but is currently working locally. He stuck with the team asking questions about who we are and why we do what we do. What an opportunity to share God’s love in such a real way! He was utterly amazed to see us sweeping up glass in the High Street. saying “I’ve never seen anything like this.

Where do we go from here? There are many other challenges that we can explore -School Pastors, Rail pastors, patrolling  & being a presence on our streets on other nights of the week etc.  It’s all very exciting.

We could not manage without support, and we are blessed with ongoing consistent support received in so many ways, and we thank those who pray, donate financially etc. etc.  We know that walking the streets is We know that walking the streets at night is not for everyone, so we have plenty of suggestions of how you can get involved.
