In the charity's own words
Street pastors work in conjunction with the local authority and the police to help to reduce the levels of crime by patrolling the streets. The public will benefit from a more peaceful environment, in which the community learns to live better in harmony and to resolve problems without violence. The street pastors are volunteers and no charges are made for their services.
