In the charity's own words
Plymouth City Pastors are Christians from local Churches. We walk the streets of Plymouth on Saturday night 10pm to 4am. We aim by our presence to reduce the fear of crime, bring a listening ear to those that want to talk and signpost folk to agencies for assistance. We carry first aid, water and flip flops. We work in partnership with Devon and Cornwall Police and Plymouth City Council.
