A FAMILIAR part of Reading’s nightlife are the Street Pastors, a group of volunteers who patrol the town to ensure people are safe on their night out.

The group has a sister organisation, and they are looking for volunteers to help their work.

Rail Pastors operate during the day, visiting stations around Reading, including Slough, Windsor, Newbury and Didcot. There are two shifts: 10am to 1pm, and 1pm to 4pm.

They aim to support people who might be vulnerable or at risk of harming themselves, and use training from British Transport Police and The Samaritans.

The team are looking for people who could commit to at least one patrol a month, and operate a flexible rota.

For more details, email Roger Clark on: ReadingRailPastors@gmail.com
