Street work
Detached youth work
This is defined by the National Youth
Agency as 'making contact with
young people who cannot, or choose not
to, use youth centres’.
Detached youth workers meet young
people in their own spaces, for instance parks, bus shelters,
shopping centres or on the street.

Broxbourne street pastors
Young people out and about in the Borough of
Broxbourne on Friday and Saturday evenings might encounter street
pastors. In their distinctive blue jackets and caps, the street
pastors are there to assist people who are in difficulties, to
listen to them, give advice and any practical help they can. They
are members of local churches but are not there to preach but
rather to help those that they meet and to make their communities a
safer place.

on 07962 979547.
