Residents across the Fairstead and King’s Reach estates experienced a heavenly surprise this Halloween as volunteers from St Faith's Church took to the streets dressed as angels to spread joy, handing out glow sticks and lollipops to local children and families.

The initiative aimed to provide a bright, welcoming presence during the busy trick-or-treating evening, offering a fun and safe point of connection for the community. Armed with hundreds of neon glow sticks and sweet treats, the church's "angels" walked the estate, lighting up the dark autumn night and greeting delighted residents of all ages.

Organisers from St Faith's noted that the event was all about celebrating community spirit and sharing a little extra light and kindness on a night when families are out exploring their neighborhood. The glowing handouts proved to be a massive hit, ensuring that youngest trick-or-treaters stayed safe, visible, and smiling throughout the evening.
