Manchester’s Night Heroes are four dedicated and trained groups of volunteers based in the city centre, who are committed to ensuring that your night out is as safe and secure as possible. Working in conjunction with the emergency services, volunteers are there to help people who are distressed due to a variety of reasons, be it alcohol or drugs, lost possessions, lost friends and even a flat mobile battery.
There are three city centre groups are – LGBT Foundation Village Angels, Village Haven (based in the Beacon on Bloom Street) and Street Pastors based in Piccadilly and the Printworks, and a fourth group based in the Manchester Royal Infirmary called ‘Safe Space’, who work alongside the Emergency Department Team.
