Southampton Street Pastors Caring, Listening and Helping

Street Pastors are on patrol in Southampton city centre from 10.30pm to 4am on Friday and Saturday nights offering reassurance, safety and support through listening, caring for and helping anyone who needs it. We are well known for looking after those who are vulnerable through too much drink and we often defuse violent situations as we chat and give out sweets. We are also in the Millbrook area o

n a Saturday evening from 6pm to 10pm along with communities around three of our secondary schools, namely Upper Shirley High, Redbridge Community School & Cantell which we patrol on a Wednesday afternoon. Since the first lockdown in March 2020 we have been conducting afternoon patrols in the city centre on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

We have had a wonderful Commissioning Service where we celebrated and prayed for those who have joined us to help are for those in our city.

It was great to have Chief Inspector Charlie Ilderton with us, supporting the work of Street Pastors and recognising the positive impact they make.

Congratulations to everyone who was commissioned. Thank you for your commitment to serving others, offering a listening ear, practical help, and care to those who need it.

Please keep all our Street Pastors in your prayers as they continue this important ministry across Southampton. 🧢

We had such a wonderful time over our spring training with people from all over the region. 🧢

We spent time thinking about how to pray with people on the streets, how to assist someone who is struggling with addiction to alcohol or drugs, and so many other important areas of care and support.

We are so grateful to see all these called people stepping out to bless many on the streets with compassion, kindness, and hope. 🙏💙

We were honoured to welcome the Lord Mayor James Baillie on patrol with us — a real privilege to share the work of Street Pastors.

After the evening, he shared:

"What was amazing was the welcome that they received as we went round. People out for the night regularly stopped us to say how Street Pastors made a difference or had helped them, and to keep going.

The other side of the patrol was also really important to experience. The help and care they gave people sleeping on the streets was exceptional. From a hot drink/noodles, to directions to relevant services, to even just a friendly conversation, it made such a difference to each person we met. One of my favourite parts was when one of the men we met began preaching and prayed with us. One of the few possessions he had with him was his bible."

Thank you for joining us and for your encouragement The Lord Mayor of Southampton — it means a great deal to us. 💙
