Harborough Anglican Church - Press Release - July 2008
Street Pastors Dream Comes Closer to Reality
Local churches have joined forces to help young people and the communities in Harborough by introducing an innovative Street Pastors scheme.
The project, which is backed by the council and the police, will aim to build positive links between young people, their local communities and local churches.
The Street Pastors will be ordinary members of local churches who care about and want to listen to and help young people. From Easter 09 they will be on the streets during the evening available to young people and others who want someone to talk to. The Street Pastors will all have received specialised training in a variety of areas, including listening skills, drugs and alcohol awareness, personal safety, and referring on to voluntary and statutory agencies that can offer further help.
It is not about saying that young people out at night are up to no good, nor is it about trying to force religion down people’s throats. It is simply about being there, a caring, compassionate presence.
