Volunteers are amazing

our patron Bishop of Wakefield Right Reverend Tony Robinson I would like to say a big thank you to those who choose to volunteer with the Christian Nightlife Initiative and for helping to reach and improve the lives of people who find themselves in need of help on the streets of our towns and cities at night time. Volunteers are at the very heart of our organisation. You are the Christian face in the local community. You tell people we’re here for them and time and time again you help make our streets, nightclubs or festivals safer places. Thank you once again for deciding to make a difference.

You are the greatest gift that you bring to your community

Big society award In 2012 the hard work of the volunteers was rewarded by Prime Minister David Cameron with the Big Society award.

CNI Family

Club angels The mission of the Club Angels is to:- Chat, Help Listen and Care. Club Angels mainly work inside nightclubs and make themselves available to befriend and counsel, protect and nurture.

Festival Network There is a growing movement of volunteers at music festivals and sporting events from within our local projects and local churches. The Festival Network is very popular and people are more interested in striking up a debate or simply chatting at these events.
