CHARITY FOCUS
Tavistock Street Pastors I met Jo Wright and Gareth Jones from Tavistock Street Pastors and they explained how the team provides the charity’s core values of caring, listening and helping people. Street Pastors was founded by Les Isaac and started in Brixton, South London in
2003, when a group of church volunteers went out on the streets to talk to people and try to make a difference to the volume of knife crime. The scheme’s success spread and teams sprang up elsewhere, dealing with other local issues such as anti-social behaviour and alcohol-related problems. Currently
more than 240 UK towns and cities have Street Pastor teams, with a growing number in other countries as well. Street Pastors is now one of the initiatives run by Ascension Trust, a Christian interdenominational organisation, whose mission is ‘to mobilise the Church to make a positive contribution to society
