The next Organ Treat at Redland Park Church will be on Saturday 14 December with tea, coffee and cake at 10.30am, followed by a 45 minute organ recital at 11.00am by Andrew Kirk.  All welcome.  Donations appreciated of £5 to the organ fund.

Redland Park is helping again this year with support for the Bristol Churches Shelter; the Shelter re-opened on 1 November for five months, with churches providing lunch or dinner for a certain length of time.  Redland Park is providing and serving lunches every Wednesday for all five months.

Bristol City Council’s consultation on a new five year Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy has re-opened.  
We want to know what actions the city should focus on to prevent homelessness and rough sleeping.  The council consulted on the strategy in August and September 2024. We've received some really helpful feedback and we’re now re-opening the consultation for three weeks so we can hear from more people, including those with lived experience and those delivering services related to homelessness and rough sleeping. 
 The consultation is now open until Wednesday 20 November.
 You can help us by:

• sharing the online consultation with your networks
• sharing information about the consultation on your social media or through any newsletters you have access to
• encouraging people to fill out the survey online or via a paper copy – these will be available at a number of locations in the city (list of locations included below)
• letting us know if there are any upcoming events that the team can come along to for engagement

 If you need the consultation as a paper version, or Easy Read, Braille, large print, British Sign Language, or in another language, or other alternative format, you can request this by emailing [email protected] or by calling 0117 922 2848.
 Thanks in advance for your support.

Celebrate friendship with us!
​We are Celebrating international friendship day by remembering Urijah Rees Thomas and Wilberforce Tribe, friends remembered here. Reverend Urijah was a Redland minister born in 1839 who helped many different charities supporting children and educational reform (including founding Penny Dinners for poor children in Bristol, and Barton Camp through the Bristol Children's Help Society). He lived with his best pal Wilberforce Tribe and his family until his death. Urijah is  buried next to Wilberforce, and left all his worldly goods to the youngest daughter of the Tribes.
