NOTICE: Redcliffe Parish Charities - Closure and Transfer
The Redcliffe Parish Charity Trustees intend that, after making appropriate provision for The Redcliffe Parish Charity's ecclesiastical objects, the remainder of its property on closure should be transferred to the Bristol Municipal Charities Relief in Need Charity (Bristol Charities). Like The Redcliffe Parish Charity, Bristol Charities is a longstanding Grant making Charity in the City whose purpose also is to relieve people resident in the City of Bristol who are in need, hardship or distress.
The Trustees of The Redcliffe Parish Charity would like to receive your comments on the above merger proposal. They would also welcome feedback, if you have any, on the similarity of the two Charities` purposes, the preference that Bristol Charities proposes to adopt in respect for the funds for residents of St Mary Redcliffe with Temple and St John the Baptist, Bedminster, and finally if you have any comments on the Bristol Charities Application process.

Please address any comments you may wish The Redcliffe Parish Charity Trustees to consider to the Charity Chair - Mr G Briscoe, c/o the Parish Office, 12 Colston Parade, Bristol, BS1 6RA. (14th August 2020)

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
