New Case Study: St Mary’s Church in Shirehampton

BA Meals preparing food at B&A Church in Bishopston

St. Mary’s Church in Shirehampton has become a key community hub. Open daily, the "welcoming space" initiative provides free hot meals, drinks, and a place for connection. Fridays feature live piano music, creating a warm atmosphere with help from dedicated volunteers.

Serving seniors, families, and the homeless, the church offers more than food—it provides emotional support and a sense of belonging. Despite rising costs, St. Mary’s remains committed to being a lifeline for Shirehampton, offering hope, connection, and care to all who visit.
