non-judgemental and non- discriminatory and will give time and unconditional love to anyone. The gospel is at the heart of what we do and why we do it, but not the forefront of what we say. We are about helping people improve their lives. The concept of the urban Trinity, working in partnership and together with local trained DBS screened Christian volunteers and statutory organisations is fundamental to how Street Pastors operate. See Charity Commission Trustee declaration. |
| Contribution made by volunteers |
Volunteers contribute to the local community by giving talks to local colleges and schools and interest groups on safe drinking and how to contact us if needed. A valuable contribution is also given to the night time economy steering group meetings with statutory organisations and the Weymouth pub- watch group. Collaboration between Weymouth Street Pastors and other statutory agencies and |
| licensees resulted in the town attaining the purple flag accreditation for management of the night time economy. |

Achievements and Performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Collaboration between statutory organisations, night time economy venues has enabled the Weymouth Street Pastor’s volunteers to help care, help and listen to individuals in Weymouth town centre on Friday and Saturday nights. Throughout this calendar year the Weymouth Street Pastor Team of 20 volunteers (4 of whom are Trustees) undertook 51 patrols which equate to 1337 volunteer hours. 593 bottles of water and 19 space blankets were given out to those in need. The Trustees can report that the initiative continues to have a marked impact in the town centre. The significant reduction in alcohol related incidents has attributed to the minimal anti-social behaviour statistic whilst the teams are on the streets. Additionally, the team dealt with 82 alcohol, 6 drug and 11 health and mental health issues during their patrols. Supporting the community included picking up 474 bottles, 300 glasses and sweeping up 93 smashed glass items thus removing hazards. 347 Pairs of flip- flops were handed out to women seen walking bare foot, thus reducing the risk of injury. To support the safety and care of vulnerable people the team also helped 93 unwell clients to get help, engaged with 4 ‘at risk’ young people and gave general advice/pastoral care to 56 individuals and 124 rough sleepers. We also accompanied 3 persons to a place of safety. The Trustees receive regular favourable comments from the police, local community leaders, town manager retailers and ward councillors. The initiative will continue to play its part in the night time economy of Weymouth and holds regular reviews and is in |

discussion with the local pub watch group and police. It is recognised that Street Pastors’ ministry makes a real difference in reducing anti-social behaviour by being a visible nonthreatening presence on the streets of Weymouth. Collaboration between Weymouth Street Pastors and other statutory agencies and licensees continues to result in the town maintaining the purple flag accreditation for management of the night time economy. In November, 2022 we won group of the year at the Dorset Volunteer Awards. During 2021 a new initiative called ‘Safe Space’ was setup with assistance from the Council. Paramedics and Security staff are based at St Mary’s church. If any member of the public is unwell or needs basic medical assistance they can be dealt without the need to call for an ambulance and we have continued to direct and take those in need to this initiative. During 2022 our local MP Richard Drax and Dave Sidwick, Police Crime Commissioner accompanied Street Pastors during one evening which resulted in their continued support and help in acquiring funding for Safe Space.
