Skipton Street Angels news from 2011

12/7/2011

 
In the small market town of  (pop 14,000) Street Angels started in April  2009. A team  of  33 Angels  invest  over  2,500 volunteer  hours each  year into the Skipton community.  In  2½ years we've helped people collapsed on the pavement, one having epileptic  fits,  some  with  concussion  and  a  few  with  cut  feet, despite disposing of over 4,000 abandoned bottles and glasses.

However,  we've mainly  greeted  and  chatted  with  hundreds  of people, and received compliments and high fives from grateful members of the public.

Inspector Craig Linton of North Yorkshire Police says "Skipton Street Angels are an asset to my policing patrol strategy. Their enthusiasm, commitment and strong community spirit has in my opinion  helped  to  make  Skipton  a  safer  place  to  visit  and socialise.”
