Street Angels

:"For the 1999 Singaporean film, see Street Angels (1999 film).":"For the 1996 Hong Kong film, see Street Angels (1996 film).":"For other meanings, see Street Angel."Street Angels is a ministry of [http://www.churchestogetherhalifax.org.uk Churches Together in Halifax] and [http://www.halifaxymca.com Halifax YMCA] , and provides a safe place and safe people on the streets of Halifax every Friday and Saturday between 9pm and 3am.

Based at the [http://www.fairtradehalifax.org.uk Fairtrade Cafe] on Crossley Street, the volunteer-based project sees Street Angels wander the streets of the town centre looking out for people who have become vulnerable in any way. They will offer help and assistance, from directing lost people to hotels or coaches to calling for medical assistance to those who have had drinks spiked or become ill.

The project has the full support and partnership of a wide range of agencies including Halifax Neighbourhood Police, Calderdale Council Nightlife Initiative, PubWatch, Action Halifax, Harvey's of Halifax, Community Foundation for Calderdale, Rotary Club of Halifax, Halifax Town Centre Forum and the town's churches.

Since the Street Angels project was introduced in 2005, the city has seen crime reduced by over 40% (the police credit some of this to Street Angels).

Other towns and cities across the UK have seen the project in action and have set up similar projects; these include Bradford, Grimsby, Harrogate, Hebden Bridge, Huddersfield, Ipswich, Manchester, Newbury, Rochdale, Todmorden, Wakefield, Watford and Worthing.
