What the charity does

Caring in Bristol empowers people to move back from a homelessness crisis. Working with those at risk of or facing homelessness, public, and partners, we create lasting change. We provide early prevention support, advice, handbooks and community-based initiatives. Our work reaches thousands annually, and includes food-led projects, youth support and emergency shelter, and our Christmas project.
