Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
| 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. |
Para 1.20 | Canterbury Street Pastors have been able to send out teams of 3 people on almost every Saturday night in Canterbury from 10pm until usually 4pm Sunday morning. Vulnerable people have been helped: - To get home safely (sometimes when they have become intoxicated with alcohol, etc) Teams have applied first aid and on occasions called for the help of the emergency services. We have signposted individuals to further help and support in response to homelessness, mental health challenges and addiction. Canterbury Street Pastors have been able to be a calming presence in situations of tension as well as accompany girls and women to places of safety when they have expressed feeling vulnerable. Broken glass/cans have been removed from the street to prevent people injuring themselves. Flip flops have been distributed to prevent injury to bare feet and water to those in need. Teams have engaged with rough sleepers and helped where possible, providing water, a snack, insulating space blankets and waterproof ponchos. Positive relationships have been continued up with the police, night staff, pubs, clubs, etc. Relationships are such that others in the night-time economy request help from Street Pastor teams to support individuals who become vulnerable. Teams lends a listening ear, and when asked, will speak about how faith motivates them to help in these ways. |
