We have completed the first of our three day training course with 12 new volunteers looking to join the team. We had a great morning hearing about the services available to the homeless in York with Jeremy the founder of the Arc Light and Tim the resettlement service manager from the council. In the afternoon we had a thorough briefing from the police looking at licensing laws and regulations, how we can work together and an introduction to some of the challenges we may face.

It was great getting to meet all the new volunteers from all over the city and of all ages from students to pensioners!

We are looking forward to the drugs and alcohol training with YACRO this Saturday and the conflict management on the 16th October.

We are now recruiting volunteers for our upcoming training course. Please visit how to become a street angel for more information and download an Application form and email or post it soon!
