On Wednesday 9th November 2022, Rod Morrison, our Coordinator, had the privilege of representing Doncaster Street Pastors at a civic reception in Doncaster Mansion House for King Charles and the Queen Consort. The reception was held to celebrate the conferring of City status on the Borough of Doncaster.
Rod was one of many representatives from 60 local voluntary organisations and charities working and supporting people across the Borough. The King spoke with half the representatives whilst the Queen Consort spoke with the other half, each having a word with every individual in their line.
King Charles had clearly heard of Street Pastors and through Rod he thanked all our volunteers for what we do, saying “Keep up the good work”
People have said that it was an honour to meet the king. However, Rod said that the honour was representing all the Doncaster Street Pastors’ volunteers. They are the ones who are out on the streets every Saturday come rain or shine – though we don’t get a lot of shine late at night; either that, or volunteers are supporting the Street Pastors in their prayers every week.
