Story
ACT Street Angels was proudly launched in Accrington in October 2023, becoming part of a national movement that began in Halifax in 2005. Today, this initiative has expanded to over 100 towns and cities across the UK and even internationally. In to its core mission, Street Angels has diversified its efforts to include work at festivals, within clubs and pubs, and throughout local communities, offering chaplaincy and more.
The aims and objectives of Street Angels are clear: we strive to provide a safe haven for individuals who may be vulnerable, offering them a place to get a drink, call a taxi, or receive any assistance they need. Our dedicated teams actively patrol the town center to support those in need, ensuring our community is a place for everyone. We rely heavily on the commitment of our passionate volunteers. Currently, we are seeking individuals who wish to make a difference by joining Street Angels in Accrington. If you care about others and can spare just evening a month, we invite you to consider becoming a part of our mission. Together, we can create a positive impact in our community! Act Street Angels is dedicated to supporting the homeless community in Accrington by providing essential services and resources. Through regular outreach programs, they offer food, clothing, and hygiene supplies to those in need. Additionally, the organization fosters a sense of community by connecting individuals with local services and support networks, helping them on their journey toward stability and independence. Their compassionate approach not only addresses immediate needs but also empowers individuals to rebuild their lives.
