It's a Saturday night in Newcastle and the city centre is buzzing with revellers.
Bars and clubs have welcomed the return of nightlife now that all Covid restrictions have ended but one group of volunteers knows all too well how quickly a big night out can take a worrying turn.
Newcastle Street Pastors have been patrolling the city streets on weekends since 2008, handing out everything from flip flops and phone chargers to providing basic first aid to partygoers in need. But the group of Christian volunteers say that they are attending more incidents than ever before now that restrictions have been eased.
