Woking Street Angels are trained volunteers, who for the past ten years, have walked the streets of Woking town centre every Friday and Saturday night, from 10pm till 4am, offering help, or a listening ear, wherever needed. Typically, they help those who are intoxicated, lonely, sick, vulnerable, troubled or sleeping rough. Working with police, door staff, CCTV, Council and medical services, Street Angels help night-time visitors have a safe experience in the town. The Street Angels’ presence makes the town centre a more pleasant place for both night-time revellers and workers. They have also made a valued contribution towards the impressive reduction in violent crime in Woking town centre during weekend nights.
During the past ten years Woking Street Angels have clocked up the astonishing total of approximately 38,000 volunteer hours. They are now an established, popular and successful element of the night-time economy in Woking. According to Surrey Police, during the hours that Street Angels are on duty, violent crime in the town centre has decreased by well over 64.5%.
Kind, caring, reliable and committed volunteers who share our values listed above. These include fairness and having the highest ethical and legal standards and a heart for the work, always willing to give that bit extra.
