Launch of Oxford Street Pastors 01 March
Oxford Town Hall (Old Library)
All are warmly invited: RSVP please to kathryn.bracewell@yahoo.co.uk
Street Pastors is an inter-denominational Church response to urban problems, engaging with people on the streets to care, listen and dialogue. It was pioneered in London in January 2003 by Rev Les Isaac, Director of the Ascension Trust, and has seen some remarkable results, including drops in crime in areas where teams have been working. There are now over 100 teams around the United Kingdom. Each city project is set up by Ascension Trust and run by a local coordinator with support from Ascension Trust and local churches and community groups, in partnership with Police, Council and other statutory agencies.
Oxford Street Pastors is supported and promoted by Churches Together In Central Oxford. The project has received funding from the Oxford Community Safety Partnership.
