Nottingham Street Pastors

Project aim

Nottingham Street Pastors aim to care for and protect anyone who uses Nottingham’s night life on Friday and Saturday nights.

About the project

Street Pastors are volunteers who go out onto the streets of Nottingham city centre on Friday and Saturday nights between the hours of 10pm and 3am. We care for people who may have become vulnerable while out enjoying the city's night life as a result of excess alcohol consumption, drug use or due to having become a victim of violene or theft. We give out bottled water, flip flops (to prevent women who have removed their high-heeled shoes from cutting their feet on broken glass), lollipops and are trained in drug and alcohol awareness, listening and counselling, mental health awareness and first aid. We are committed to working alongside the police, ambulance service, door staff and CCTV to ensure the safety of all on a night out in Nottingham.
