Rhondda Cynon Taff, the local Police and local churches have setup up a Street Pastors Scheme in Pontypridd. Teams of Christians go out on the streets in Pontypridd on a Friday or Saturday night to be a support/help to any people who need it.

• Help vulnerable people
• Clear broken glass and bottles
• Give out Flip Flops preventing injury to feet from glass
• Suppy bottles of water to those who are dehydrated and/or being sick
