We are volunteers who patrol the streets of Newcastle city centre on a Friday and Saturday nights from 10:30pm – 4am, helping those who find themselves vulnerable or marginalized.

Street Pastors are church leaders or members with a concern for their local community, they are willing to provide a listening ear or practical help.
