Both teams had busy late nights caring for vulnerable people. Feet cushioned by flip flops people hugged by foil blankets & showing Gods love on the streets of Reading. Great partnership working @SCAS999 @firststopteam

It was a bust night in town with Freshers & a pay day weekend. A late finish for the team. Three patients into the Safe Space. 👍🏻@SCAS999 @ReadingUniSU @ReadingCouncil @ReadingBID

A Q night on Friday, a good Faith conversation with someone who as a result of talking to Fridays team decided to go home instead of going to the pub! Saturday was busy! @AscensionTrust @ReadingBID @ReadingUniSU

Another great weekend of #caring#listening#helping in the night time economy. Great partnership working with @SCAS999 & @firststopteam @ThamesVP @rdgchronicle @ReadingBID

Big shout out to the Licensing & Production teams @OfficialRandL who make everything run so smoothly & work so hard. They were very pleased to have a cuddle today. @hantstvpoldogs @TVP_ReadingFest @ThamesVP

Another great day, some photos from last nights patrol, today’s daytime patrol plus many photos from the two tents, Geoffrey the sniffer dog & the amazing team of “Appropriate Adults with the fantastic staff from @pathwayriskmanagement @TVP_ReadingFest @OfficialRandL

Good Morning from Reading festival, what a beautiful sunrise as the night teams go off to get some sleep. Lots of fun & laughter at Brown & Yellow tent. 😊@TVP_ReadingFest @OfficialRandL @AscensionTrust @ReadingCouncil

Out on patrol around the campsite today. Lots of fun was had, many conversations & people wanting to acknowledge our work & sharing their appreciation for us being at the festival & in their local areas @AscensionTrust @ReadingCouncil @OfficialRandL @ThamesVP

Early morning for some volunteers starting their shifts at 0200! Hot chocolate mountains to sustain them through the night. Some volunteers doing double shifts, thank you. 😊@ReadingBID @ReadingCouncil @AscensionTrust @TVP_ReadingFest

Every young person has immeasurable value and worth. That’s why here at the Reading Festival it has been such a privilege to partner with the incredible Reading Street Pastors to provide a 24-hour safe space — a place of care, support, and welcome for anyone in need. Fantastic

Festivals should be a good time for everyone 💫 We’re at the Consent Tent talking about how to keep it safe and respectful for everyone. Come say hi 👋 it’s a chill space to talk, listen, or just grab a sticker 💛 #ConsentConversations

Its a beautiful night @OfficialRandL #READINGROCK

Street Pastors patrolling the campsites during the daytime & at night. Great conversations in the tents, so many young people grateful for us being there & providing a safe space. @ReadingCouncil @ReadingBID @ThamesVP @AscensionTrust

That bed will fit in!! 🤣@OfficialRandL

Thank you to the great team from d&bsolutions who loaded & set up today at Reading festival along with other volunteers. We will be open tomorrow morning right the way through to Monday morning in Yellow & Brown campsites. Come in & chill out.😊@AscensionTrust @ReadingBID

A real privilege to be back on the stage tonight to pray for #readingandleedsfestival. Lovely to have members of Festival Republic staff on the stage with us to worship, pray & take communion. @AscensionTrust @TransformRead

Right from the start of the evening the team was kept busy caring for vulnerable people. Chief Constable Jason Hogg popped into the Safe Space during the evening to meet the volunteers. @ReadingBID @AscensionTrust @SCAS999

A real privilege to be invited to speak at the @readingaglow meeting tonight at #southcotefamilychurch. 🙏 @AscensionTrust @TransformRead

Pictures from last weekend & this weekend. Sheep spotting seems to be the thing to do as part of the patrol 🤣 Many vulnerable people given assistance over both weekends. Alcohol + hot weather often = 😡@AscensionTrust @ReadingBID @ThamesVP
