02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Ayrshire Street Pastors aim to share our love of Christ with people through our actions, as we believe that these speak louder than words. This is achieved by patrolling the streets of Ayr and Prestwick, primarily at night, ensuring that people are safe on the streets, by Caring, Listening and Helping. Ayrshire Street Pastors are now a recognised and appreciated part of the night-time economy. We are members of the Safe Ayr Group which comprises of all the agencies and organisations that try and make South Ayrshire a safe and enjoyable place to socialise in, at the weekend. We also get included in other initiatives, for our input but, unfortunately at this point in time, not practical assistance, in particular Safe Beaches initiative. Patrols have continued from 1 June 2025, at weekly intervals through to December, with an extra patrol near Christmas itself. During 2026, after closing for January, weekly patrols have continued.
