The project, Redcliffe Together, is a community-led response to Covid-19 led by the church and supported by our partners Redcliffe Children’s Centre, Bristol Horn Youth Concern, Kobciye and BCC’s Community Development Team that will reach all sections of the community. The project will continue the successful work of the church responding to COVID-19 in Redcliffe as well as integrating some new elements will support emerging needs in the local area. Thank you to the Government for making this possible.

 

The comprehensive community support will include:

• food provision through a foodbank and food club
  
• activity packs for children and families
  
• a befriending/mentoring service for young people and the elderly
  
• an information, advice and guidance service
  
• a community mural 
  
• a technology library that will be able to lend laptops and provide internet for those in digital poverty
  
• a celebration of community heroes
  
• mental health training for local community workers.
  

 

We will spend time and money specifically targeting people who are at high risk from COVID-19, such as the elderly and BAME communities. We also know sections of the community are already facing challenges due to lockdown measures (e.g. large families, self-employed, closure of services etc.) and have designed our response to meet their support needs. 

 

Our project still requires an additional £7,500 to make all elements possible if you would like to make a financial contribution please contact church.wardens@stmaryredcliffe.co.uk.
