MP for Cleethorpes, Martin Vickers, highlighted the work of Street Angels in the House of Commons recently: "Last Saturday night and into Sunday morning, I went out on patrol with Humberside police officers, the excellent Police And Crime Commissioner for Humberside, Matthew Grove, and the magnificent street angels into the streets of Cleethorpes to view the night-time economy." The Deputy Leader of the House, Tom Brake, said in reply, "He rightly highlighted the work done by the street angels on his patch." Read the full report here / read the report of the MP, PCC and Sunday Times journalist AA Gill in Cleethorpes. "Street Angels - the amazing story from binge to better" our eBook has recently received a 5* review from a reader on Amazon: "What a wonderful book. It is well written and a very good example of how the Grace of God manifests itself in an environment where you'd normally think it wouldn't. I really enjoyed the testimonies from the people who received help from the Street Angels and really admire their dedication to the cause. If you want to read about how 'ordinary' people who, because of their faith and good nature, make a big difference to the lives of others then I thoroughly recommend this." Buy the eBook on Amazon Kindle (for your Kindle device or for use on the Kindle app on your mobile or tablet) or as a PDF. Welcome to new local projects:
