Rev Les Isaac OBE is founder of Ascension Trust.

Les came to national attention in 2022 when his message about integrity and the common good at the Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast set in motion a chain of events that led to the resignation of Boris Johnson in the following days.

Les is best known as the pioneer of the Street Pastors movement. Every weekend Street Pastors provide care and support to late night clubbers in nearly 250 cities and towns across the UK, a story Les tells in his book ‘Faith On The Streets’. Les joins Justin and Belle to talk about re-enchanting the pubs, clubs and streets of our cities.

Find out more about Les and the work of Street Pastors.
