Paul is a speaker and founder of Street Angels, an organisation that has had a positive impact on the streets of over 130 towns.    ROC Angels empowers local people of goodwill to work together for safer, stronger communities especially within the third spaces of society, such as: the night-time economy; music festivals and events; around pubs and clubs; within town and city centres; local communities.  They seek to equip and resource, connect with others and offer projects and ideas that work. ROC Angels is the umbrella organisation for around 100 local projects working within the night-time economy, at major events (such as music festivals) or within communities across the UK and in America, Spain, Seychelles, Australia and Brazil.   They have helped change a culture with a UK reduction in alcohol related violence and A&E admissions.   In this episode you will hear:   00:00 intro 04:30 connection and community 08:15 Halifax - the Wild West of West Yorkshire 12:30 love the person in front of you 19:30 Jesus loves festivals 27:20 pouring in to 45,000 people 31:30 everything starts with the one 35:30 Street Angels in 140 towns 40:30 faith and police together 44:15 peace and prosperity of your town 50:30 vision for the high street 56:00 Member of Order of the British Empire 01:00:05 stories you wouldn’t believe 01:08:05 Paul’s Heartprint 01:11:30 final thought Please do share this episode with a leader who you wish to inspire and encourage.
