STREET PASTORS
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.
Derby Street Pastors is a partnership of 25 local Churches, Derbyshire Police, Derby City Council, Derby City Centre Management, Derby Diocese, Derby Pub-watch, The Cathedral Quarter Company, Derby Community Safety Partnership, The Afro- Caribbean Church Forum for Derby, Derby Youth With a Mission and The Ascension Trust.
Derby City Mission administers and co-ordinates the project here in Derby.
