Ob'ectives and activities
The objects of the charitable incorporated organisation are for public benefit, in
the geographic area of Bury and beyond as the trustees may from time to time
detennine in accordance with charity law in England and Wales, as follows:
(1) to advance the Christian faith in ac￿rdanCe with the street pastor License
agreement with the "ascension trusy, through..
(i) the provision of public pastoral care services to help people on the streets and
other public places, giving guidance, support and signposting which assist in
preserving public order, avoid ants"_social behaviour, relieve sickness and
preserve health and by:
(li) enlightening others about Christianity through raising awareness and
understanding of ecclesiastical relevance to communty and public life, mobilizing
the church ecumenically to unity of worship and to advance the Christian faith by
carrying out the mission and outreach work of the gospel for the benefit of the
public.
(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 exdusively
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
Iraining, infomial tslks and capacity building in voluntary services. according to
Christian principles and the Street Pastor urban trinty principle of church, police
and local government working together for the benefit of the community.
Summa
of the maln 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 benefft of the public.
Advancement of religion
As a Christian Organisation we work through the collective efft>rt of local
churches whose members volunteer to be Street Pastors, re￿Iving specialised
training with us, which enables them to develop their own individual capacity as
'salt and lighv in the communrty whilst actively engaging in providing essential
voluntary services in public care and for public benefft, in partnership with our
local authority, police and other agencies, particularfy 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 invofves 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 eXperien￿d by troubled individ4als 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, heaEth and public order.
Our patrol teams frequent the night time economy areas bebween 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. flipfiops 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 ststus of particular communty needs, where the trouble 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, disonentated or displaying anti-social behaviour under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
Vvhen revellers or marglnalized young people display aggressive behaviour our
Street Pastors are trained to defuse anti-social behaviour or gang-related
violence by mediating and reassuring people. Wn)ere this proves to be insufficient
and when necessary, the Street Pastor Patrol Team Supervisor. who is in
communication with the police. nots.fies the police of the situation for their
appropriate intervention.
On patrol, often we meet rough sleepers. We engage with them in convewtion
and seek to refer them to appropriate agencies to help them reintegrate into
community life. ￿)then 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 untfonn, distinguished
by the Street Pastor logo and invariably this elicits questions from the general
public who wish to know more about our christs.an beliets. 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 Chrrslianity and advances

the Christian Faith for the benefft 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 tske cognizance of
the social issues impacting our eommunty 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 communty events.
Our primary aim would neither be successful nor sustainable rf 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 practi￿ 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 activitie5 to
be far-reaching, relevant and efficient in addressing the urban and social-ills
within our communty.

For this reason we rely intensely upon fomiing good working relationships with
the police, local authority and others agencies, rather than being insular in our
approach and fo￿￿ of outreach which may meet a targeted need but does not
benefit the community as a whole. As Street Pastors are Christians who are
members of a local church, our work demonstrates the compassion of Jesus
Christ in very practical ways within the lrfe of our community. In this manner we
preserve the relevan￿ of church and faith, to lrfe and society by building the
capacity and skills of Street Pastors as non-judgmental and non4iscriminatory
agents of peace. reconciliation and safety in our community. This is a positive
influence upon public moralty and civic cohesion.
