About Halifax Street Angels
Halifax Street Angels work Fridays and Saturdays in Halifax town centre 10pm - 4am to meet the needs of those who have become vulnerable.
Halifax Street Angels Description
Street Angels is into its ninth year of making a difference on the streets of Halifax!
Launched in November 2005 to address some of the issues around the night-time economy in Halifax town centre on Friday and Saturday nights - Street Angels has become a succesful project and made our town a better place. . .
Violent crime has reduced by 57% over the last five years in Halifax town centre and Sexual Assaults have reduced significantly
Tens of thousands of volunteer hours are invested into our town annually
Thousands of people have received help and assistance - including elderly people leaving the theatre, young people who have become vulnerable in the town, those who are homeless, those who have had a few too many to drink and need a helping hand, visitors who need direction, people in need of basic first aid but not a trip to A& E. . .
Helped many, through referrals to other agencies, move away from a life of drinking too much. Carried out presentations in schools and colleges around safe drinking
Picked up thousands of glasses and bottles making the streets cleaner and safer
Street Angels is the local church working in partnership with a wide range of agencies including: Police, Council, Town Centre Management, Community and Voluntary groups, Pubs and Clubs.
Because of the difference Street Angels and the partnership working has made Halifax became a Purple Flag town (a new standard that recognises great entertainment and hospitality areas at night) in November 2010. This accolade is a testimony to the commitment and hard work invested in Halifax on a weekly basis. . .

Today is the start of our 13th year serving Halifax. We were founded on November 25th 2005 and ever since have been proud to work each weekend to serve and support people who are vulnerable within our night-time economy. We thank you all for your support, and we would like to send a big thank you to all our volunteers, past and present who make and have made all we do possible.
We hope to have the privilege of serving our town for many more years to come. Thank you, and God b...less.

“Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve…. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
