One Night In Newcastle

The city of Newcastle is renowned for it's vibrant nightlife, but with cuts to the emergency services, an increase of pubs and clubs and a mental health crisis the city is wrestling between its economic prosperity and the health and welfare of it's residents and visitors. This is where the Street Pastors come in, a group of christian volunteers from across the region who give up their time on a Friday and Saturday night to patrol some of the most lively streets in Britain. They operate without fear or favour, offering help to those in need - first aid, flip flops, foil blankets they have it all for those who need help. Follow the team as they survey the streets of Newcastle, find out who they are, and most importantly, why they do what they do.
