Out on the streets..............................................................................
Taking time to help the homeless – Street Pastors on patrol
You may like to sit on the sofa in a warm lounge watching a movie on a Saturday evening... so why would you get out of that comfort zone around 9pm to get freshened up, changed into uniform and head into Kettering town centre, once a month?
As a Kettering Street Pastor for the last eight years, this is something I have done ‘religiously’. Some might say religion doesn’t come into it, but faith in Christ, love and care for others does.
Teams patrol the streets of Kettering, as do over 14,000 colleagues in other towns and cities up and down the country, every Saturday night until 3am.
We hand out lollipops, water, space blankets, basic first aid and offer a caring, listening ear and a helpful, ‘can do’ approach.
We are there to ‘Care, Listen and Help’ – no matter whoever, whatever and whenever
– and without judgment. We liaise with CCTV, door staff and police to support those in need and in vulnerable situations.
