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.

On Friday night we were accompanied by the Bishop Of Selby for the evening, it was great to have him come along and see what Street Angels York is about.

Street Angel Rob said this,

“It was encouraging to have him join us for the evening, his attitude and heart for the people we met was a great example to follow.”
