What the charity does

Ashford Street Pastors are a body of volunteers from many churches in and around Ashford who go onto the streets on Friday and Saturday nights between 10pm and 4am, to take care of those who have, for whatever reason, become vulnerable and as a result are not able to take care of themselves. Our philosophy is: Caring, Listening, Helping.
