West Suffolk SOS Bus

Newmarket has a vibrant night time economy with visitors from across the region coming to enjoy the nightlife and racing. But as with many communities in the UK, issues can arise, the SOS bus situated on Newmarket High-street is there to help.

Running on Saturday nights from 9:00pm to 3:00am, the primary purpose of the SOS Bus is to offer immediate, non-judgemental assistance to people at risk along Newmarket's High Street. Parked up on the wide paved area outside the town's main Post Office, the Bus will remain static for the duration of each shift.

The SOS Bus provides first aid, advice and help to vulnerable people experiencing issues such as:

- Emotional Distress

- Alcohol and Substance misuse

- Social Isolation

- Lack of immediate finance

- Relationship Breakdowns

Newmarket Town Pastors

Caring on the streets

Town Pastors are Christians who look out for and support vulnerable people, giving assistance where appropriate. Being on the street to provide a presence of friendliness and care so that people can enjoy their night out, defusing any potentially aggressive situations. Town Pastors are available to people as listeners, encouraging safe behaviour for all, and fostering good relationships between the public, the police, door staff, the local authorities and voluntary agencies.

Town Pastors, working in male/female pairs, wearing bright distinctive jackets and headgear, are out on Saturday nights from 10pm until the early hours. Their aim is to provide a positive influence in the town - backed by prayer.

They have contact with the Prayer Base, CCTV operators and police via radio and phone, and carry a small stock of useful items for use while on patrol.
