|||voluntary services, according to Christian<br>principles and the Street Pastor Urban Trinity<br>principle of church, police and local<br>government working together for the benefit<br>of the community.<br>Nothing in this constitution shall authorise an<br>application of the property of the CIO for the<br>purposes which are not charitable|
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or services<br>identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|HELPING, LISTENING, CARING - Teams<br>Made up of trained volunteers in and around<br>Grantham go onto the streets most Saturday<br>nights between 10.30PM and 3.30AM, to<br>provide pastoral care, in a non-judgmental<br>way, to those of all faiths and none who for<br>whatever reason have become vulnerable or<br>just wish to talk.<br>This is done in association with the local<br>council (CCTV operatives), Police and Door<br>staff, with whom we maintain conversation<br>with, by phone/radio and in person.<br>We have a prayer team, also on duty, to pray<br>for the Street Pastors who are out, those<br>who need/ask for prayer, and situations that<br>may arise during the evening - and also who<br>pray for the town, and those involved in the<br>nighttime economy generally.|

## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|The main aims and achievements are to the<br>wellbeing and safety of those enjoying the<br>nighttime economy on the busiest nights,<br>and so is difficult  to measure against<br>targets. The members of  the public we<br>speak to, or comment on social media, say<br>they feel safer when Street Pastors are<br>around, and they know there is someone to<br>talk to, or help, if they feel upset or<br>vulnerable, or just need to talk anything<br>through.<br>The feedback from other agencies (eg<br>Police, CCTV, door staff) is that the overall<br>‘atmosphere’ is calmer when we are around,<br>and they appreciate we are able to handle<br>minor incidents withot them needing to get<br>involved. National/regional statistics show,<br>where Street Pastors are active around the<br>UK (and elsewhere), that reported<br>incidences of anti social behaviour and<br>nuisance crime during nighttime are lower<br>than expected in these areas.|



**Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: 

|Achievements against<br>objectives set|Para 1.41|Following the Covid ‘lockdown’ of 2020, we<br>emerged with insufficient volunteers to<br>maintain the aims described above as many<br>volunteers felt unable to return, even after<br>Government regulations were lifted (several<br>being over 70 themselves, or with vulnerable<br>close relatives). Thus, we have not been<br>able to operate on the streets since then,<br>until we have more volunteers trained and in<br>service, and the operation is viable.<br>At the moment the charity is also continuing<br>without a permanent Secretary or Chairman,<br>while we recruit new trustees.|
