Feet on the Street: Street Pastors return to Falmouth
Who are we…
Feet on the Street is a new ‘churches together’ initiative aiming to provide extra support and care for people at night in Falmouth. We are an independent charity comprising of local volunteers working in association with ROC Angels. Feet on the Street has been endorsed by the local council and police and we work in close association with them.
What we do…
At night people can get into various kinds of difficulties; under the influence of drugs or alcohol, disorientated by mental illness, lost in unfamiliar surroundings, or struggling with loneliness. We offer a welcome face, a non-judgmental listening ear and signposting to other support services where appropriate. We can also offer small items of practical help and we carry a basic first aid kit to assist and support people until they are deemed safe. We aim to provide hope, compassion and a calming presence to vulnerable people in need.
Why volunteer…
As Christians who really care about our community Feet on the Street volunteers are committed to the service of others in the name of Jesus. We are led to serve in a practical way and challenged to share Jesus’ love outside the four walls of our churches, we believe that we have a responsibility to serve people who need help and give our time for free, we are passionate about everyone feeling safe whether you are visiting, a student or a resident in our community.
How you can support us…
- Become a volunteer – join our team
- Support financially – a one off donation or monthly support
- Spread the Word – tell you friends, churches, neighbours and colleagues about the amazing work our teams are doing
- Pray for us – join our whatsapp prayer group

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2025 : Day 8 : Reflections : Waiting for the Kingdom

I thought I would add a short explainer of what the charity Falmouth and Penryn Welcome Refugee Families that I met yesterday do as I realised my original post was quite short.
The aims on their website are to –
“resettle families fleeing war and climate change within our local area via the Community Sponsorship scheme, and to support them to achieve financial and social independence within their new community.”
and
“To help existing refugees living in the local area via additional educational and social opportunities”
They have worked with 3 families fleeing war so far and helped them settle locally under the Community Sponsorship scheme. This is how the government describes the scheme:
‘Community sponsorship is a way for local communities, civil society organisations, charities, and faith groups to be directly involved in helping refugees settle in the UK. Community sponsors provide emotional and practical support to empower families to rebuild their lives in safety, and to become self-sufficient members of their new community. Being a sponsor also benefits the local community through enabling the generosity of local people and creating new bonds between those involved.’
In #Falmouth, Falmouth & Penryn Welcome Refugees have secured private housing from donors so no social housing is being used. They also give support with English teaching and in other ways. They volunteer their time for free.
If you would like to support them with time or donations do go to their page – falmouthandpenrynwelcome.org/
This is the link to the government community sponsorship scheme –
