Lent Project 2024: Bristol Soup Run Trust
The Bristol Soup Run Trust was founded in 1987, to serve those in greatest need on the streets of Bristol.
We provide a homeless outreach service in Bristol city centre, every night of the year serving outside on the streets in front of Central church and St Mary Redcliffe church. Our dedicated teams provide food, soup, drink, signposting and other essential supplies, free of charge to homeless people and others in need on the streets of Bristol.
Over the past 37 years we have seen thousands of volunteers give their time during the night to prepare soup, sandwiches, hot drinks, then go out and serve the most vulnerable in Bristol on the streets in all-weather 365 days a year, between 9:00pm and 10:30pm.
We help around fifty people each night, and over time we have forged strong relationships where trust can grow, and we can move from just physical sustenance to signposting guests to other services to make their first steps to getting off the street.
The service costs around £100 per night to run, and we are funded solely by the generosity of the general public.
