Biog:

Paul Blakey MBE is the founder of Street Angels, a project which, with the help of an amazing team of volunteers, has made a massive difference in over one hundred towns and cities across the UK and overseas. Founded in November 2005 the scheme has seen violent crime and sexual assaults reduce dramatically in many of the communities where the projects work. We have expanded our work to inside pubs and clubs, at music festivals, in communities and at train stations. Because of Paul's contribution to community safety he was awarded a MBE (Most Excellent Member of the British Empire) in the New Years Honours 2010 by Her Majesty the Queen. Paul is an assessor for the King's Award for Voluntary Services and has set up various other initiatives such as #FaithAndPoliceTogether and #Do1NiceThing. Paul will talk about work on the streets, in nightclubs and at festivals in a humorous and engaging way.
