WHO ARE WE?
Glasgow Street Pastors began in January 2009. In 2024-25 around 100 volunteers
operated in 8 Street Pastor teams In the aty centre and 4 in the West End. There were
around 15 people in supporting roles as Prayer Pastors.
Glasgow Street Pastors is an interdenorninational Christian organisation, working in
partnership with local churches, Glasgow Crty Council and Police Scot18nd. Street
P8Stor8 come from diverse backgrounds. 8 wlde r8nge of 8ge8, many Chrf8tl8n
denomlnalons. and operate In mIxed￿8X teams. All volunteers dolng regulated work are
members of the PVG Scheme for work with Protected Adults. Volunteers are motlvated
and trained to demonstrate non-judgemental, compassionate care on the streets of the
city by listening, caring and helping. The instantly recognisable uniform is welcomed by
the public at the weekend on the streets of Glasgow and at major events.
Street P8Stors engage wlth a varlety of people who use the nlght-tlme economy In
Glasgow. especially those who are excessively intoxicated, distressed, vulnerable andlor
require support for a safe onward joumey. We also work with homete68 people and
beggars, We provtde support to Pollce Scofjand, to door stewards and tsxi marshals
employed by the Cty Council. Teams are link8d by radio to the CCTV control centre at
Glasgow Operations Centre. We work in partnership with the Pollce., Homeless Project
Scotland (which In the period reported operated an ovemlghl shelter In the dty centre);
Glasgow Stre8t Aid. (whlch has unifomed volunteer paramedics in the city centre) and
Glasgow City Mission. which has a number of services for those who are homeless,
including an ovemight housing 8UPPOrt service in the wlnter of 2024-2025.
G18sgow Street Pastors is govemed by a Management Team of Trustees drawn from
volunteers who are actively involved in the tharity's work. As we are affiliat8d to
Ascension Trusc a national charity, we follow their guidelines and protocols. use their
tralnlng materials and wear the same unifO￿n as other Street Pastor groups. In the year
to June 2026 we had 3 paid part-time staiF. a Ctrordinator. an Administration Officer and
Development Officer.

ACTivrriES JULY 2024- JUNE 2025
Th8 primary obj8Ctive of Street Pastors is to listen. care and help. Our Street teams do
this by patroS1ing on the city ￿ntre streets beljween the hours of 2200 and 0400. between
2200 and 0100 in the West End and occasionally at other major events in the city. Our
Safe Zone operates from St George's Tron Church in BuL*Tanan Street a Friday and
Saturday night during the same hour5, slaffed by SP volunteers. The Safe Zone offers
support to vulnerable people. an opportunty to be inside in bad weather and the
opportunty to recover before making arrangements for their onward joum8y. Police
Scotland also use the f8ciIty thus saving time and valuabl8 resources on the streets.
We are in no doubt that our work on the streets and in our Safe Zone is the reason we
exist and is the most importanl thing we do. During the year we (x)ntinued lo have many
significant encounters on th8 street and to meet people strugglino with addictions.
loneliness, mentsl health Igsues and spiritual searching. This is in addltlon to the
short-term problems of drunkennes5, lost property, being separated from friends, and
mlnor injuries. Flip-flops conts'nue to be often required and much appreciated. We would
conslder the 'ln the moment, encounters and needs met to be the most important part of
our VK)rk. Following the implementstlon ol 8 new database system in January 2024, w8
are able to Summarise our actvity for 2025 as follows:

though our recruitment, selection and training programmes have been busy. Ihe natural
tumover of volunteers in the p8riod has resulted in littte overall change In numbers. A
typical week would see 1 patrol in the West End and in the caty centre, with the Safe Zone
being open on both Friday and Saturday nights with either 1 or 2 teams on the street.

includ88 consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks
explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that woukJ be required in an audit, and
cons8qU8ntly I do not express an audrt oplnion on the view given by the accounts.
