Happy New Year from Bristol Noise!


The beginning of a new year presents different thoughts, feelings, tensions and opportunities for us all. There is much in local news about what kind of year to expect for residents of our city, which can range from more nervousness in the area of increased energy bills, to how the council will operate and how the committee model will affect people on the ground.

We at Bristol Noise feel passionately, that local community engagement remains one of the keys to helping people in areas of practical need, and in assisting in building up relational resilience so people feel supported whatever season they are living through. 

Therefore, we will continue to champion local organisations who are doing great work, week in week out to help people when they need it. We will also be very active this year in supporting churches, individuals and local organisations, to build relationships with those on their doorstep, providing support in more ways than one. 

We have some exciting things in the pipeline for this year, which we are excited to share, whilst we continue to chip away at doing practical things that support and signpost people to the help they need, when they need it. Send us a message if we can support you where you are.
