Who can be a Street Angel?

At the heart of Street Angels York is the desire to love, care for and bless our city. The key qualities needed to be a Street Angel are:

• commitment
• honesty
• being non-judgemental
• good people skills
• a team player
• compassion for those in need

How old must I be?

Street Angels York welcomes volunteers of all ages, from 18 upwards, with no maximum age!

What is the time commitment?

One Friday or Saturday evening a month from 9:30 pm till 3am. This will work on a rota basis.

Is there training?

To be a Street Angel you need to complete our introductory training course. The training will cover topics such as roles and responsibilities, personal safety, drugs and alcohol, homelessness and relating effectively.

The 2012 Training is to be confirmed

Training is from 9:30am – 4pm

We have received some funding from the Safer York Partnership but we are asking for a voluntary contribution of £50 to go toward the costs of training and Street Angels York jackets.

Our priority is that volunteers are safe and well equipped.
