Date of External Board/Outside Body Meeting Attended

05/06/18

Purpose of the External Board/Outside Body:

Street Pastors is a commitment to unity among Churches in Maidstone.

Street Pastors work closely alongside the police, Paramedics and the Urban Blue

bus project.

This provides emotional, spiritual and practical support to those in need.

Street Pastors are an integral part of the Saturday night time economy in Maidstone.

Excellent relationships have been built up with door staff, Police as well as local residents and visitors enjoying our night time economy in Maidstone.

Update:

Our 10 year celebrations take place in October this year.

Switch Café High Street Maidstone continues to be used as our base.

Core funding has been secured thanks to our Coordinator Nigel Downes from Maidstone Churches and the Police.

In total there is a team of 34 Pastors of which 3 Prayer Pastors are allocated to each team out on duty.
