About


Plymouth Street Pastors provide late night patrols offering unconditional, non-judgemental care and support to anyone who may need it in our night-time economy.  To date we have:-
  • Resuscitated 2 people
  • Helped avert 8 suicides
  • Saved at least 3 people from Hypothermia and possibly death
  • Given away over 9,000 pairs of flip flops, mainly to girls walking home barefooted carrying their high heels which they can no longer walk in – this helps to avoid foot injuries from walking on broken glass
  • Given advice/re-assurance/directions to more than 1,900 people
  • Been able to help after more than 300 assaults
  • Removed over 78,000 bottles from the streets in case they get broken and cause a hazard or get used as weapons – nb staff working in A&E Dept, Derriford Hospital have commented on the “noticeable drop” in the number of cuts dealt with on Saturday nights
  • Given away over 2,000 space blankets, mainly to street sleepers
  • Administered direct First Aid and/or contacted the emergency services more than 1,000 times
  • Given away some 700 bottles of water p.a. (either to wash wounds or help sober people up enough to get them safely home in a bona-fide taxi)
