CNI Network (Street Angels)
Many of the CNI Network (Street Angel) teams and volunteers rose to the challenge of the lockdown.
In partnership with local churches, teams of Community Angels became the heartbeat of local communities, supporting those self-isolating as well as the elderly or vulnerable with regular phone calls, medication and shopping deliveries. In Blackpool, and in other towns and cities, part of the new work has been with the homeless community.
Some teams changed to offer support, prayer and chaplaincy to those who work within the night-time and hospitality industry. One team, at the request of the police, have received training to be able to offer patrols in suicide hotspots.
