FESTIVAL CHARITY Ascension Trust Street Pastors Street Pastors were pioneered in London in 2003 by Les Isaac having originated in Kingston Jamaica.

Since then more than12,000 street and prayer pastors have been trained and played an active part in strengthening community life in safer streets.

5 FESTIVAL CHARITY Ascension Trust Street Pastors Street Pastors were pioneered in London in 2003 by Les Isaac having originated in Kingston Jamaica. On the first night in London, 18 volunteers took to the streets of Brixton 15 women and 3 men. Since then more than12,000 street and prayer pastors have been trained and played an active part in strengthening community life in safer streets. More than 300 towns and cities around the UK have a Street Pastors team. With prayer pastors, management teams and trustees, there are over 20,000 volunteers associated with the Street Pastors network. There are also a number of street pastor teams overseas. As well as serving the night-time economy, the Street Pastors model is being used in daytime, in parks, schools and colleges. In 2014 we started to train experienced Street Pastors for the role of response pastors volunteers who provide physical and emotional support in times of crisis. Whichever context they are in, Street Pastors offer reassurance, safety and support through listening, caring and helping. They work together with other partners to make communities safer. Each city project is set up by Ascension Trust, which is the governing body behind Street Pastors, and run by a local coordinator with support from local churches and community groups, in partnership with the police, local council and other statutory agencies. Chelmsford Street Pastors Established in 2008, Chelmsford Street Pastors are now a familiar sight on the Chelmsford weekend nightlife scene. We are acknowledged as a force for good, not only by pubbers and clubbers, but also by the police, CCTV authorities and pub/club owners. Local authorities have commented that since the scheme started there has been a significant drop in the level of anti-social behaviour on Friday and Saturday evenings in Chelmsford. In this time the City has achieved the awards of World Health Organisation Safe Community and the Purple Flag which was renewed this year. What do Street Pastors do? Chelmsford is thriving! On many Friday and Saturday nights, the city is teeming with people. But when the bars, pubs and clubs turn out, it can sometimes be a time of tension and tears on the streets. During these periods (10pm - 4am) we deploy a team of Street Pastors, focussing on the city s known hotspots. The teams of 3-4 men and women look to help people with anything from finding a taxi to assisting those worse for wear on drink/drugs, even helping to diffuse arguments occasionally. Recently we have been working alongside the Open Road SOS bus which provides paramedic support in the City to reduce the need to call an ambulance and hopefully the need to use Accident and Emergency facilities. As our Street Pastors get to know people in the community, they find out their needs and what can be done to help. Despite the title 'pastor', the role is not about preaching, but one of listening, caring and helping working in an unconditional way. Additionally, and equally as important, there is a team of pray-ers at the Street Pastors base who receive regular calls from the Street Team so that they can pray into the various situations going down on the streets. Contact Us If you would like to help out with the Street Pastors scheme, join our Prayer Team, or wish to find out any other information about the work we are doing in Chelmsford, please us at info@chelmsfordstreetpastors.org Chelmsford Winter Beer & Cider Festival
