Helen Jones was the club’s guest speaker in February. Helen is a member of Faversham Rotary, but on this occasion she was talking about Canterbury Street Pastors.
Helen is one of a team of trained volunteers who go out onto the streets of Canterbury on a Saturday evening from 9pm until 2-3am on Sunday morning. They are there to help people, to care for them and to listen to them. The Street Pastors provide non-judgemental support while promoting safety.
Members heard stories of how Street Pastors help young people who may have become separated from friends on their night out. Rough sleepers also benefit from the support offered by the Street Pastors.
