About Us     

Working non-judgmentally in Cambridge City Centre’s Night Time Economy

Helping people on the streets

Street Pastors patrol every Saturday night from 10pm to 3am in and around the city centre, whatever the weather. The team of 3 or 4 are well known with their uniform and navy caps and luminous STREET PASTORS rucksacks.  

Our aim is to keep an eye out and offer assistance to anyone in any kind of need without judgement.  We keep in touch with door staff, police, paramedics and CCTV, by radio which links to the Street Pastors and NightLite  in case people need them. 

Our purpose is to be a reassuring presence on the streets and we know our calming presence has helped avoid many trips to A & E.  But we do contact Emergency Services if necessary. We are there to help in any way we can and offer practical and non-judgemental caring, listening and help to anyone.

Helping people in our Safe Space

On many Saturday nights, we also run NightLite 'safe space' in Downing Place United Reformed Church from 10pm to 3am.  

This safe space offers a place to wait, chat, recharge your phone, receive assistance, sleep or just use the loo! All the Street Pastor and NightLite volunteers are from Christian churches and want to demonstrate the unconditional nature of God's love through caring, listening and helping the Cambridge night time scene. 

Our volunteers will only share their personal faith if they are asked.

Prayer Pastors

Cambridge Street Pastors works best when supported by prayer and some dedicated Prayer Pastors "watch and pray" either at home on the phone or at our base, while we are on patrol or in NightLite. They pray for the team when we go out and when we get back, and between times - we keep in contact with them by mobile phone regularly. If you are interested in becoming a Prayer Pastor, please contact our Coordinator on 07588 560090 during office hours.
