Thank you from a member of the public.
Good morning, this morning the street pastors were a massive help to me and my friend who unfortunately had took a turn for the worse in the newcastle main street just outside a club, wanted you to know how amazing and sympathetic they all were and without there help i don’t know what i would’ve done, it’s amazing too see the kind of care they provide for young adults especially in scary situations such as my self and my friend.
I really hope they are rewarded and recognised for their work and kind and caring service this morning, I know their job is not about recognition but they very much deserve the recognition as they were professional and friendly and can’t thankyou enough for their services and efforts, kind regards.
“On Saturday night last, my son was in Newcastle city centre at his Prom and became unwell after too much alcohol. I received a phone call from his friends asking me to come and get him.
When we arrived he was lying on the ground passed out and was being looked after by a number of your Street Pastors. I had never heard of you before and was blown away by their caring and kind support.
The service you give to the young and vulnerable in Newcastle is quite simply outstanding and we wish to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for looking after our son so well.
We are shouting about your amazing work to everyone we know and will be making a donation.
Many thanks again”
