Street Pastors in Blaby District

Sp_logo_2The ‘Street Pastors’ project that was launched at Enderby Police HQ back in June continues to progress – a number of application forms are out with potential Street Pastors, and the training programme is nearly all in place for a start later this month. If you are interested in preparing for this really valuable ministry, then speak to Bob, or contact Ann Murphy directly.

A big part of the preparations is obtaining funding for the project, and we have an application in to the ‘Community Cashback’ scheme. Here’s what the scheme organiser says:

Thousands of pounds worth of criminals’ cash could be used to fund community projects in Leicestershire and Rutland – and the public can help decide which projects the money goes to.

As part of the national Community Cashback scheme, £95,000 worth of criminals’ money recovered by the courts is up for grabs to be reinvested in local projects aimed at cutting crime and anti-social behaviour.

Last month, the Leicestershire and Rutland Criminal Justice Board (LCJB) asked people to nominate worthwhile projects in need of a cash boost. Local people from across Leicestershire and Rutland showed their enthusiasm and dedication to helping their communities by nominating more than 70 worthwhile projects in need of cash. After careful consideration by a judging panel, 13 projects have been shortlisted.

Now local people have until 10am on September 14 to have their say on the shortlisted Community Cashback bids in Leicestershire and Rutland.

Here’s the interesting bit – local people get to decide where the money goes. Visit the cashback website at www.cashback.cjsonline.gov.uk and vote for the Street Pastors initiative – your vote really does make a difference!

Youth Activities

On the first Sunday of each month we have Kirby Fried Church. Worship activities organised by our teenagers for the younger kids. It always ends with hot chocolate, marshmallows and candy floss.
