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	In addition to the consistent patrolling of the streets and continued interaction with school children, the main achievement of the charity is that it’s continually invited by local businesses and community leaders to partner with them to make the community safer and better for the residents. The health and social care training will enable Street Pastors and School Pastors to interact better with both young and mature people with challenging behaviours they encounter during their patrols on the streets and work in schools. The Parent Support Group in the Lambeth area is critical as, unfortunately, Lambeth continues to rank highly as a borough with high youth gang involvement, drug dealing

and county lines issues. This group gives Street Pastors a way to support parents who find themselves in such situations.
