Dunfermline Street Pastors Initiative
The Dunfermline Street Pastors is an initiative being led by a number of churches
in the centre of Dunfermline. The purpose is to make sure young revellers find their
way home safely from the centre of Dunfermline.
The benefits to the community are a safer town centre and a reduction in the volume
of social ‘fallout’ from clubs and pubs emptying en masse in the early hours of the
morning. It also frees up police resources to deal with more serious incidents.
The aim has been to establish a social enterprise scheme in partnership with Fife
Council and other agencies in order to help the local community to flourish, becoming
stronger, offering improved opportunities and a better quality of life.
The following pages relate the background to the formation of the Dunfermline Street
Pastors and some of the achievements since then:
