Management team
Wilma Pearson
Glasgow has been my home city since my late teens. Now as a wife, mum, gran, and minister I’m more aware of the challenges and concerns faced by many in our city. Serving as a Street Pastor is just one way of demonstrating God’s love and compassion for all - it sums up faith in action for me.
Liz Marr
I am from Glasgow and the eldest of 6 children I am a pharmacist in my day job, and have specialised in addictions for 20 years I am married to a minister and have 2 grown up children I have been a street pastor since 2014 I love to walk and read ( although not at the same time) I also love to listen to music.
Mark Hazell
Mark is an elder at Baldernock Parish Church near Milngavie where he and his family have lived since they came home from Germany in 1998. He became a Street Pastor in 2018 and joined his wife, Alison. Mark worked in IT for 30 years and then had a second career as a brewer and publican before retiring from that and becoming an AIRBNB landlord to supplement his pension.
Marion Young
I became a Christian in my late teens and I’ve been a street pastor since 2011. Although I no longer live in Glasgow, I grew up in the city and consider myself a Glaswegian through and through. It’s been a real privilege to serve God and the people of Glasgow as a street pastor over these years. I have met some interesting people and had many a conversation about my faith, whilst caring, listening and helping folk in a variety of ways. I’m retired now, but I worked as a nurse and health visitor for many years. I’ve been married to Douglas for nearly 40 years, and have two grown up children and 4 wonderful grandchildren.
Sonia Blakesley
I joined Glasgow Street Pastors in 2020 and love interacting with the city and it’s people. I usually patrol in the West End, having felt a call to serve there whilst studying at Glasgow University.
I am a Church of Scotland minister in Paisley and I love having the opportunity to serve God in a very practical way as we listen, care and help those we encounter in the night time.
Linda Moxey
I have two children and two grandchildren. I was a uni lecturer for many, many years, but I am now retired. I was born in Glasgow and have spent most of my days here, so it’s probably not surprising that I love this city and it’s people!
I first heard of street pastors back in 2014, and after finding out more about them I decided to train as a street pastor myself in 2015. For me, spending time with my team, and learning/worshipping alongside other street pastors is a very uplifting experience - probably because we all come from different christian churches and traditions and when we are together what shines through is what we have in common rather than what makes us differ from each other. We all love God, love Jesus Christ, we all trust in him, and in his plan for us. We all want to serve others, as Jesus taught us to.
Support staff
Elaine Moore
All of my working life, which spans 42 years, has been in an administrative role within Local Authorities. Currently I am the Administrator for Glasgow Street Pastors, a role which I am thoroughly enjoying. I am an active member of ECF (Elim Christian Fellowship) in Paisley where I serve as the Coordinator of the Hospitality Team. In my spare time I love spending time with my family. I also do a considerable amount of catering for events which I also enjoy. Having been a Christian since I was 8 years of age, I have seen God move incredibly in many situations within my life and am so grateful for His faithfulness.
Elizabeth Lacey
I currently serve as the Coordinator for Glasgow Street Pastors. This role involves training
our new starts, coordinating the teams and liaising with other city centre agencies.
Outside of work I attend the Salvation Army where I sing in the Songsters, help coordinate
their community meals programme and am a lay preacher. I am married with four daughters,
two of whom are still at home, and one granddaughter.
I became a Christian at a young age and have been blessed to have many people support
me on my discipleship journey. I am studying towards a degree in Theology, which is proving
very useful in several areas of my life.
