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.

Once again, Redland Park URC will be supporting the Bristol Churches Shelter (along with about 15 other churches) to host those who have become homeless to support them to find permanent accommodation, and find work if not already working.  A small hotel is taken over for this project and Redland Park will be providing lunches every Wednesday for the length of the shelter, from November through to March 2025.

. . . will be on Saturday 23 November when our old friend Trevor Fowler will be giving us a recital.  Coffee/tea and cake are served from 10.30am, and the recital from 11.00am lasts about 45 minutes.  Donations of about £5 requested for the organ upkeep.  All welcome.

On Saturday 14 December, Andrew Kirk will be returning for the following Organ Treat, 10.30am for 11.00am and we look forward to seeing you then.

We are celebrating Harvest on Sunday 29 September together with the Bristol Korean Church and the Zimbabwe Reformed Church, both of which worship at Redland Park.  Donations will go to the North Bristol Food Bank.  This will be followed by a Bring and Share lunch.  All welcome.

We will be holding a book sale at the front of the church on Saturday morning (28 September) from about 10.30am, selling books of all sorts in aid of our church charities (currently The North Bristol Food Bank and The Vine Trust).  Please come along and grab a bargain.
