Dover Street Pastors
“Street Pastors is about Christians rolling up their sleeves and getting involved in practically responding to the problems of crime and safety.”
Here at Dover Street Pastors, we are passionate about loving and caring for our town and the people in it in really practical ways. We are made up of volunteers from all walks of life; from churches all across the town, working together for Dover.
As a group of Christians from different churches, we patrol the streets of Dover town on Friday and Saturday nights, as well as one Wednesday afternoon and one Friday afternoon each month. During the summer months a patrol using e-bikes goes out once a month during the day to outlying areas of Dover, subject to weather conditions.
We’ll stop and chat to anyone we meet – caring, listening and helping where appropriate – while supporting a peaceful presence on the streets in our local community.
We liaise with Dover District Council, Dover Community Safety Partnership, Dover Outreach Centre, Kent Police and other relevant organisations.
