Bristol Noise in Redcliffe
This year, the SMR local residents, SMR church community and a group from Woodland church had teamed up with the Redcliffe gardening club to transform the communal garden spaces in Redcliffe.
It was great to converse with people who passed us by. Local people have commented on the joy of seeing their communal areas transformed. There were over 420 volunteers from 34 churches and groups across Bristol, with over 25% volunteers under 18, and over 25% volunteers over 50.
A comment about the Redcliffe garden club:
"A huge thank you to all volunteers who helped us beyond our wildest dreams yesterday on the 2 garden sites in Redcliffe."

I'm Beth, Life Event Coordinator. Over the past few months, we have been busy with baptisms, weddings and funerals. From small wedding blessings with only a couple and a priest present to large affairs with over 300 guests we feel glad to have supported people during key moments in their lives. I've noticed that life event services need cooperation from the whole team at St. Mary's: Cleaners keeping the church spotless; Clergy and Vergers running a seamless service on the day; talented Musicians providing deeply moving music; the Events team rearranging schedules and tours to fit services in the diary; much admin preparation before the day; careful diligence from our Finance Manager to ensure every penny of donations are sent to families charity of choice. The love and care put in by the team here is apparent to me and hopefully reassures you that St. Mary's will be here for you in both the highlights and hard times that you face. Beth Herbert
