BURY STREET PASTORS
Trained volunteers drawn from Christian churches of different denominations providing a listening ear and practical help to the socially marginalised and the needy. We typically patrol the streets of Bury on Friday and Saturday nights between 10pm and 3am and work in partnership with the police and local Council, in order to reach and help all those in need.
