We run 3 distinct volunteer projects within Guildford:

Street Angels patrol Guildford town centre late on Friday and Saturday nights, bringing a calming presence and offering practical care and support for anyone in their time of need.

Community Angels befriend vulnerable adults who may face loneliness and isolation. They volunteer an hour a week for a 6 month period.

Volunteer Chaplains regularly visit a specific setting/work place in the town and are motivated by their faith to give time and to listen. They provide spiritual and emotional support in a confidential, safe place, to others of any faith or none.

“I was hugely impressed with the compassionate open-minded support they offer people in times of vulnerability. My night as an observer on a shift confirmed my view that the Street Angels offer a calm and caring support network”

CLAIR - PARENT & NOW STREET ANGEL

“Town centres patrolled by Street Angels see marked reductions in violent crime, sexual assaults and antisocial behaviour.”
