Street Pastors
Bridgend Street Pastors Project was set up in
conjunction with the Ascension Trust in July 2007.
It is run by a local co-ordinator with support from
Ascension Trust and local churches and community
groups, in partnership with Police, Council
and other statutory agencies.
There are no 37 trained Street Pastors working in Bridgend Town on Friday & Saturday nights from
10pm - 4.00am. Currently there are volunteers from
16 churches in the town. They have had many opportunities to be a positive influence in the lives of the people who are part of the night life in Bridgend.
The work is still expanding & in recent weeks Street Pastors have been asked to do special projects at the request of the Police to support the needs of various communities in the Borough eg. Pyle, Pencoed & Bettws
'Street Pastors’ is an inter-denominational Church
response to urban problems, engaging with people
on the streets to care, listen and support.
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.'
