To advance the Christian faith in

To develop the capacity and skills of
socially disadvantaged groups in our
community in such a way that they

Listening, Caring, Helping – we are
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.

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.|Para 1.20|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 27
volunteers (3 of whom are Trustees)
undertook 98 patrols which equate to 1629
volunteer hours. 447 bottles of water and
10 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 54 alcohol,
9 drug and 42 health and mental health
issues during their patrols. Supporting the
community included picking up 447 bottles,
259 glasses, 712 tin cans (which can be| used as weapons) and sweeping up 76 smashed glass items thus removing hazards. 151 Pairs of flipflops 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 88 unwell clients to get help, engaged with 13 ‘at risk’ young person and gave general advice/pastoral care to 132 individuals and 116 rough sleepers. We also accompanied 3 persons to a place of safety. We also had interaction with 11 youngsters under 16. The Trustees continue to 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 antisocial behaviour by being a visible nonthreatening presence on the streets of Weymouth. Safe Space continues to be supported by the Dorset 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. **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |
