Objectives and activities
A group of Christian volunteers from various churches across Swindon. Working independently, but with the full support of the Local Authority and the Police, and working closely with security and door staff of the pubs and clubs, we patrol the Town Centre on Friday and Saturday nights. We are not there to preach, but to show the love of the Lord Jesus and help vulnerable people. Swindon Street Pastors follow the governance set down by the Ascension Trust, the governing body behind Street Pastors nationally.
Achievements and performance
This year the focus was to grow the teams and continue regular patrols and ensure that all team members had the training they needed.
