(2) to develop the capacity and skills of socially disadvantaged groups in Our community in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help Meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society; in particular but not Exclusively through raising awareness, promoting, sustaining and increasing Individual and collective knowledge, skills and expertise, through the Practical development of individual capabilities, competences, skills and Understanding through formal training, informal talks and capacity building in Voluntary services, according to christian principles and the street pastor Urban trinity principle of church, police and local government working Together for the benefit of the community. ## Summary of the main activities As a Christian charity working under the auspices of the Street Pastor License Agreement of the Ascension Trust, our aims are to advance the Christian faith and promote community capacity building for the benefit of the public. ## Advancement of religion As a Christian Organisation we work through the collective effort of local churches whose members volunteer to be Street Pastors, receiving specialised training with us, which enables them to develop their own individual capacity as ‘salt and light’ in the community whilst actively engaging in providing essential voluntary services in public care and for public benefit, in partnership with our local authority, police and other agencies, particularly around the night time economy, to relieve people who are in distress, injured, disoriented or displaying anti-social behaviour under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The nature of our work involves pastoral care of the general public and thereby we both demonstrate the intrinsic Christian value of loving our neighbour without prejudice and raise awareness of the relevance of faith and church life today, in terms of the problems and needs experienced by troubled individuals and groups within our community. Primarily our Street Pastor work involves pastoral care in the streets by caring for, listening to and helping people. This is done through the organized patrols of Street Pastors who are trained to give reassurance, guidance, support or signposting to partnering agencies, in an effort to avoid anti-social behaviour and to preserve life, health and public order. Our patrol teams frequent the night time economy areas between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. People leaving pubs or clubs late at night are often disorientated through drink or drugs and as such are at potential risk of sexual assault or other abuse. Our Street Pastors help them get to a safe place until they are able to look after themselves or simply to get home safely. We provide water to those in need of it, flip-flops particularly to women who can no longer cope with their high-heeled shoes and space blankets to people who are inadequately clothed in very cold weather. We foster community safety also by doing Street Pastor patrols at festivals, community events or other public places where a calming influence and a positive presence is beneficial to the public. Our Coordinator and Senior Street Pastors work in close cooperation with the local police and local authority to establish the current status of particular community needs, where the troubled spots are and where our patrols will be most helpful. During the night-time economy patrols, we also liaise with the security staff of pubs, clubs and restaurants, monitoring where people are at during the night, in an effort to assist those who are in distress, injured, disorientated or displaying anti-social behaviour under the influence of alcohol or drugs. When revellers or marginalized young people display aggressive behaviour our Street Pastors are trained to defuse anti-social behaviour or gang-related violence by mediating and reassuring people. Where this proves to be insufficient and when necessary, the Street Pastor Patrol Team Supervisor, who is in communication with the police, notifies the police of the situation for their appropriate intervention. On patrol, often we meet rough sleepers. We engage with them in conversation and seek to refer them to appropriate agencies to help them reintegrate into community life. When people have needs beyond our capacity (e.g. drug or alcohol dependency) we refer them on to specialised agencies. In the discharge of duties, our Street Pastors patrol in a set uniform, distinguished by the Street Pastor logo and invariably this elicits questions from the general public who wish to know more about our Christian beliefs. When asked to, we share our belief in Jesus Christ and His love for all mankind and pray with individuals as requested. This enlightens others about Christianity and advances the Christian Faith for the benefit of the public. Further to this, we organize special lectures, prayer and worship events for Street Pastors and local churches to promote our work inter-denominationally and recruit further volunteers to carry out our Street Pastor objects and the mission of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We also promote and attend inter-church events for prayer, worship and to do informative talks to raise awareness and understanding of the social needs of our community. At these events, members of the local churches take cognizance of the social issues impacting our community and enlist to potentially be Street or Prayer Pastors. ## Community Capacity Building As Street Pastors our work encompasses liaison with local authorities and police in a directed effort to mitigate and address issues emanating from socially disadvantaged groups or marginalized persons in our local community. All our Street Pastors are trained to identify and appropriately deal with community needs in accordance with Safeguarding, Health and Safety, Equal Opportunities and Confidentiality Policies. We strive to uphold best practice in the provision of our services for public benefit, usually organized in team patrols, mostly in night time economy areas between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights or at ## special festivals or community events. Our primary aim would neither be successful nor sustainable if we did not promote volunteering and developed the capacity and skills of members of our community to better identify and help meet, not only their individual need to participate more fully in society, but also the need to provide a service that meets particular community needs through pastoral care of vulnerable or marginalized people on our streets. Our Street Pastor License Agreement guides the transfer of knowledge and skills involved in public pastoral care. We do this with a view to raise the moral and spiritual welfare of our community, which results in greater social cohesion and helps us keep our streets and public places safe. To this end our Street Pastors go through a rigorous training programme and regular refresher courses to ensure their knowledge, skills and self-confidence in the handling of public care is of a high standard and effective in benefiting the public. Among other disciplines, the training focuses on best practice derived from Safeguarding, Health and Safety, Equal Opportunities and Confidentiality Policies. All our Street Pastor volunteers are adults, drawn from at least four different local denominations to ensure the breadth of our collective activity covers the public benefit requirement but moreover because we want the impact of our activities to be far-reaching, relevant and efficient in addressing the urban and social-ills within our community. For this reason we rely intensely upon forming good working relationships with the police, local authority and others agencies, rather than being insular in our approach and form of outreach which may meet a targeted need but does not benefit the community as a whole. As Christians, members of a local church, our Street Pastor work demonstrates the compassion of Jesus Christ in very practical ways within the life of our community. In this manner we preserve the relevance of church and faith, to life and society by building the capacity and skills of Street Pastors as non-judgmental and non-discriminatory agents of peace, reconciliation and safety in our community. This is a positive influence upon public morality and civic cohesion. ## **Explain Social-ills** within our community.
