Night Patrol

The Night Patrol is a van that provides a mobile outreach service offering refreshments and friendly faces to people on the streets at various hours of the night. It is a service which engages with people by offering friendship, support, and compassion. Volunteers provide warm drinks, something to eat, warm clothing as required,
and friendly conversation.

The Night Patrol has been operating in the Canberra region since August 2001, and is currently operated by 150 volunteers who visit various locations in a specially equiped van.

All are welcome when Night Patrol arrives. It is not only the homeless, or those isolated by health or circumstances that obtain great support from our volunteers. Both regulars and new acquaintances drop in for a chat and companionship.

Referrals to other community services are available from the Night Patrol.
