65 Street Pastors in Coleraine area
And the new intake means that there are now and incredible 65 Street Pastor volunteers, who represent 30 churches across the Coleraine area.
It was Coleraine councillor Stephanie Quigley who brought the Street Pastors project to Coleraine last year; many people are now familiar with the striking uniforms of the teams as they walk through estates in the town and help outside clubs and pubs in Portrush and Portstewart.
