Street Pastors Launch

This evening it was a pleasure to attend the launch of a new initiative in Wantage and Grove called Street Pastors. You can read more about it here

Street Pastors go out and about in the community at night and give help and support especially to young people who may be in trouble. There are many cities all over the UK who are already part of the scheme. The Ascension Trust gives training and support for anyone who is interested in becoming a street pastor and all ten churches in Wantage and Grove are involved. Wantage and Grove Street Pastors can be contacted by telephoning 01235 771859 or by email at: wantageandgrove@streetpastors.org.uk

It is excellent that this scheme is being supported by Thames Valley Police and we hope this will lead to a reduction in crime across the whole area. I am sure it will be a great success.
