Helping churches stay engaged in Christian social action & politics in Bristol
Across Bristol, churches are opening their doors as Warm Welcome Spaces - offering warmth, conversation and connection to those facing rising costs and isolation. Discover how your church can join this city-wide effort, learn from existing initiatives, and link people to local support.
As part of Warm Welcome Week, Ebenezer Church in north Bristol is celebrating the joy and connection found in Warm Welcome Spaces, working with local partners to ensure everyone feels included. The week highlights the power of simple hospitality in building friendship, dignity and belonging across the community.
Bristol organisations offering mentoring and befriending came together to share learning, explore challenges, and build partnerships. The event highlighted how “being rather than doing” is shaping effective 1:1 support - and how collaborative approaches can strengthen mentoring across the city.
