In the charity's own words
Trained, uniformed Street Pastors volunteers from local churches staff a refuge cafe and patrol the centre of Cambridge on Saturday nights between 10pm-3am, caring, listening and helping all without judgement or discrimination. Assistance and a listening, pastoral ear are made freely available to all. We freely share our faith and motivations but only if asked.
