Love Bristol, the faith-based organisation based in Stokes Croft, are becoming increasingly visible… The ground floor of the building which faces Ashley Road has become a charity shop for the Christmas period,  has been painted in a festive fashion, and the street furniture now sports a sewn covering…

Love Bristol agreed to the painting of the “Think Local” anti -Tesco mural on their building and made a contribution towards the cost of the paint. This is an important manifestation of community cohesion, bringing different groups of the local community together in a common cause.

Love Bristol are often to be found on the streets of Stokes Croft offering to say a prayer for passers-by. I gave it the go, as a lifelong atheist: the laying on of hands was an interesting and positive experience.
