Town Pastors are Christian volunteers from local churches who are out in the town centre of Bury St Edmunds most Friday and Saturday nights being a positive influence on the streets and providing help and support to vulnerable people.
In addition there is the prayer team: some pray at the base in town and others pray at home.

What do Town Pastors do on an evening out? Incidents range from giving dehydrated people some water to drink, helping people to get a taxi or a lift, waiting with vulnerable people, calming and diffusing aggressive situations and various conversations with people.
