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)

We've seen lots of amazing work in the visitor services department so far this year. SMR stewards have generated over £4,500 donations between January and April 2026 and welcomed over 5000 visitors to the Church. We are welcoming new tour guides to the front of house team with the eventual goal to expand the number of tours we are able to offer to the public. Janet and Reuben have both done their first tours and have received wonderful reviews from visitors. If you are interested in volunteering on the front of house team please contact me on lucy.marshall@stmaryredcliffe.co.uk . We have had some amazing feedback from our outreach events as we aim to welcome not only those familiar with SMR but also those that have never been before. These have included film screenings, talks and most recently the Redcliffe Sessions which raised just under £150 for our Lent charity partner, CALM. Thank you to all those who have supported these. The next Redcliffe Session will be in support of SMR and will feature Bristol band Dogsbody on guitar, cello and violin, and songwriter, Alex Pester on 13th June. I am very excited looking into the rest of 2026 for our future events run both in house and by external hirers, more information of which can be found on our website. If you are interested in volunteering at any future SMR events please let me know! Lucy Marshall Visitor Services Coordinator 06.05.2026
