ABOUT US
Who are the Woking Street Angels?
Woking Street Angels was established in 2010 by members of local churches to help provide care and support in Woking Town Centre. With the support of the Surrey Police, Woking Borough Council and Woking People of Faith, we have grown from strength to strength and are now an integral element of the night-time economy in Woking.
​
We patrol on Friday and Saturday nights, from 10pm till around 4am in mixed groups wearing our distinctive blue and yellow jackets. Our purpose is to help anyone who needs it and particularly those that find themselves vulnerable.
