Commissioning Service 9/2/26

Published: 09/02/2026

Woking’s Mayor Cllr Amanda Boote, MP Will Forster and Council Leader Anne-Marie Barker, with other guests from Surrey Police, Woking Borough Council and local church members supported a service on Sunday 8th February in the warmth of St Mark’s Church Westfield, to celebrate the annual commissioning of Woking’s Street Angels. The service was led by Rev. Jonathan Thomas, vicar of St Peter’s parish. This event marked the fifteenth year of the Angels being on duty every Friday and Saturday night in the centre of Woking. Woking Street Angels are keen to continue to provide their important community service and would welcome new volunteers to guarantee being on duty every weekend. In teams of three or four , each volunteer gives their time just one night a month. With springtime due soon and the prospect of making solid friendships, anybody over age 18 is welcome to apply, and there is no upper age limit. A “taster night” is easily arranged and full training is given. Could you give the idea of joining the team some thought yourself, or mention the opportunity to a friend or colleague?
