Camberley Street Angels

What is a Street Angel?

Street Angels are volunteers who believe that people deserve care and love in their time of need. Those needs could be as a result of homelessness, intoxication, drug abuse, assault or any other issue which has caused personal distress or the potential for physical harm.

They help people whoever they are and whatever their situation, for example by listening, caring, offering practical help or by referring people to other (specialist) agencies who can help them.

Street Angels operate under the management of Churches Together in Camberley with volunteers, who are over 18, CRB checked, interviewed and trained.

How We Work

The Camberley Street Angels programme operates with support from Surrey Police and the Safer Surrey Heath Partnership. Initially Camberley Street Angels is operating on Friday nights from 10pm until around 4am when all the bars and clubs have closed.

We expect to expand this to cover Saturday nights in due course.

What Difference Does it Make?

Street Angels (and similar programmes such as Street Pastors) have been springing up across the UK over the last several years. They make a really positive impact on crime and antisocial behaviour in town centres (particularly in the vicinity of bars and clubs) by providing a calming presence on the streets late at night.
