We empty a community team which is based in The Hub - Redcliffe Community Centre on Redcliffe Hill. The team works with local residents and organisations, taking an asset-based community development approach to seek new ways to improve community connections and involvement across the whole Redcliffe neighbourhood.
Our engagement with the community is motivated by faith and the call to love our neighbour.

Contact our Youth & Community Manager david.cousins@stmaryredcliffe.co.uk for further information.
It's a space to network, share ideas and support what is happening locally. It’s attended by community workers, council officers, staff from the local nursery, children’s centre and secondary school, the police, local residents who volunteer their time, youth workers and more. As a result of these meetings we have seen new people working together to put on events, set up new community activities and increase their knowledge about what other organisations are doing locally.
On their doorstep, we find out about their experience of life - particularly in Redcliffe, what’s important to them and what their skills and gifts are.
We always meet really interesting people who are happy to share about their experiences and often are looking for more ways to be involved in their community, but don’t know how. On a number of occasions, we have met people who were feeling isolated and have been grateful that someone took the time to knock on their door.
We have established some online communications via social media to communicate about what is going on within the area, whether that be local news, events and activities or other opportunities to get involved, such as job openings or volunteering roles.
We promote and celebrate all of this to increase our community’s awareness of what’s happening and invite them to participate.
