…”a caring presence on the street”
City Pastors is an initiative involving volunteers from local churches working in partnership with the Broad Street BID (Business Improvement District) to ensure that Broad Street is a safe, vibrant environment for everyone who visits.
We provide an essential pastoral bridge between the street wardens, business owners, door staff, police, taxi marshalls and the general public.
We help clubbers, diners, concert go-ers, homeless people, tourists and anyone else we encounter on the street. We also work with vulnerable or marginalised people providing a caring face and signposting support to other agencies.
A City Pastor is a volunteer from the Christian community in Birmingham who is willing to be on duty on Broad Street once a month, on a Friday or Saturday evening, from 10:00pm to around 2:30am.
We work in two mixed pairs patrolling the street from Five Ways Island to Centenary Square.
