As we enter into the Autumn, it feels as though we are entering a new season as a team too. At the start of the summer I joined the Saint Helens Street Pastors team as the coordinator, and after a few months of getting to grips with the role I feel like we are starting to see some of the fruit of the last few months of hard work and getting everything in place to move forward.

Relationships are growing and so is the reputation of Street Pastors. The feeling of support that we have from our local Police, Council and Churches is really incredible and very encouraging. It is a pleasure to partner with such fantastic people who want to see our Town of Saint Helens flourish.

As a newcomer to Saint Helens, I feel a real sense of excitement about being here and being involved in the work of Street Pastors. I am so looking forward to seeing our team of volunteers grow so that our capacity is bigger and we can therefore make more of a difference in the night time economy of Saint Helens.

If you are interested in getting involved as a volunteer or if you would like to know other ways in which you can support us; you can take a look at our page Support Us, donate, pray, share or you can email Hayley Harrison on sainthelens@streetpastors.org.uk or phone 07927 390281 for more information.
