Paul Blakey MBE is the founder of Halifax Street Angels, a project which, with the help of an amazing team of volunteers, has made a massive difference in Halifax and over seventy towns and cities across the UK. Founded in November 2005 the scheme has seen violent crime and sexual assaults reduce dramatically in the town centre and has helped make the town a much better and more vibrant place on Friday and Saturday nights.

To accommodate the expansion of Street Angels Paul founded the Christian Nightlife Initiatives Network in July 2008 which has helped around seventy towns and cities across the UK to launch similar projects.This initiative has won support of many leading church leaders, denominations and organisations and is a leading voice for faith based projects working within the night-time economy.
