BCCF Cost of Living Campaign

St. Stephen’s Church in Southmead hosts the Friendship Café every Wednesday, offering free activities like dance fitness and health checkups. It’s a thriving community hub where locals can find companionship, support, and connection.

“We’re motivated by the Biblical principle of ‘loving your neighbor,’ and we want to bring that to life in our daily actions,” Stewart shares. This vision has led to initiatives like the community café, Kintsugi Hope Wellbeing Groups, and a local food bank, all of which operate within the church’s space.

BCCF is launching its Winter Cost of Living Crisis campaign and is looking to provide financial grants to support a range of local projects this coming winter 2024/25.

This campaign will be wide-ranging and include support to those experiencing food and/or fuel poverty, debt, homelessness, mental health issues, or loneliness.
