Reaching out to where you are

Reaching out to where you are. Logos for Ascension Trust, College Pastors, Street Pastors, Response Pastors, Prayer Pastors, Rail Pastors, School Pastors, Bridge Watch, Overseas Mission, Synergy Network and Sixty Forty.

Ascension Trust is celebrating reaching out for over 30 years supporting vulnerable people in local communities through its initiatives: Street Pastors, School Pastors, Rail Pastors, AT Beacon Project, Bridge Watch, Urban Youth Mission and much more, including more recently as a partner of the Synergy Network.

Its Reaching Out campaign is looking for support to help its teams continue to make an impact in reducing antisocial behaviour, increasing safety for women and girls, supporting young people and the wider school community, by a physical, visible presence that is providing safety, peace and a non judgmental listening ear for many in society.

For more information and to donate to the campaign, please see the Ascension Trust’s Big Give page.
