A group of 14 Christians from 10 different churches, all passionate about helping people practically and spiritually when asked, to show Jesus' compassionate nature in helping and guiding people who may be lost, lonely or need to know the way home!
In Poole Town Centre this year from July to October, after lockdown eased we have had 000 conversations, made 000 referrrals for rough sleepers to Safer Communities,
given a homeless man a waterproof coat on a cold wet day, collected 000 pieces of rubbish and responded to countless visitors and locals with information about who are and our mission in Poole .
Read below about how we were asked to help keep the peace and influence a friendly neighbourhood........
about how we were asked to help with the anti-social behaviours in Ashley Road and how the locals have welcomed us there ....

Team members who are not able for medical reasons to come out on on patrol will still be praying from home to cover us as we go out into Poole.
They will also be praying for the vulnerable, our homeless friends and maybe some new acquaintances.
There will be prayers for the new schemes set up during the last lockdown, such as the prayerlines, the neighbourhood scheme, the telephone befriending scheme, to name just a few.
We continue to pray for our partners, Routes to Roots who have been supplying packed lunches to any regular homeless people in Poole
Poole Food Bank working tirelessly now from St James' Church in the Old Town to help families keep well stocked with meals
Smile, giving out recipes and the ingredients to young families for them to share cooking times during the week.
We continue to pray for those individuals and businesses still able to work as well as the market traders, bus drivers and shop keepers who have all been so affected by the current crisis.
May God bless them all and may they know His peace, remembering that He works for the good of those who love Him.
