Woking Street Angels provides care and love to individuals in need on the streets of our town, from 10pm to 4am on Friday and Saturday nights.
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.
Street Angels help people whoever they are and whatever their situation, for example by listening, simple acts of generosity, caring, offering practical help or by referring people to other (specialist) agencies who can help them.
Established in 2010 and modelled on successful examples in other local towns, Woking Street Angels have clocked up the astonishing total of over 16,000 volunteer hours. They are now an established, popular and successful element of the night-time economy in Woking. According to Surrey Police, during the hours that Street Angels are on duty, violent crime in the town centre has decreased by 64.5%.
St Andrew’s provides prayer and financial support, and some of our members serve as “Angels”.
