Every Street Pastor team carries a record card. The figures from just one recent Saturday tell their own stories:

1 Emergency Services called

2 First Aid given

2 Racist incidents

3 Advice / Reassurance / Directions

5 Space blankets / ponchos

2 Pairs of flip flops given away

77 Bottles removed from the streets

13 bottles of water used

2 “Other”

– Young lady sitting at Derry’s Cross. Cold and looked drunk. Wanted to go home.

She started self-harming. Positive restraint. Police took over. She was taken to hospital & sectioned

– Advice to girl whose boyfriend was missing – CCTV and Prayer Pastors called

and a note on a recent card read “Thanks from a young man who we helped when unconscious outside the Two Trees. Big thanks from his mum!”
