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)

As the new season begins, it feels full of potential as new life appears around us and the days grow longer. Spring brings a natural sense of renewal, and it feels like a particularly special time in the life of our church. I’m delighted that our building will be hosting several events that explore the story and meaning of Easter in different ways. One highlight will be hosting Riding Lights Theatre Company presenting Night Falls, a new Passion play by Paul Birch, offering a powerful retelling of the Easter story. We hope it will be meaningful for both members of our congregation and visitors who join us. We are also looking forward to a screening from the Exhibition on Screen series exploring Easter in Art, reflecting on how artists across the centuries have interpreted the Passion and Resurrection. Our church shop continues to welcome visitors and regulars alike. Alongside cards, books, and gifts, I’m pleased to share that we have recently brought a new book supplier on board, helping us widen our range of titles for both children and adults exploring faith and the heritage of the church. I’ve also been delighted to help recruit several new volunteers to help run church tours, and we hope this will allow us to expand our tour offer and share the story of the church with even more visitors. If you see them in the church please help welcome them to the team. Behind the scenes, we continue working to welcome concerts and other events into the church. Our beautiful space lends itself wonderfully to music, and these events not only bring people together but also help support the care and future of the building. Over the coming months, we look forward to hosting a range of concerts and cultural events, welcoming audiences from across the local area and beyond. If you know of choirs, ensembles, or promoters looking for a distinctive venue, please do point them in our direction. Thank you to everyone who supports these activities by volunteering, attending events, shopping in the shop, or spreading the word. Recca Horry , Commercial Manager 13.03.2026
