Community Fundraising Success at Staple Hill Christmas Fair

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved in raising funds for Turnaround Bristol at the Staple Hill Christmas Fair.

Thanks to the dedication of volunteers Jane and Jonathan, Turnaround Bristol was represented at the fair with our handmade cards, bunting, and information about our work. The stall attracted lots of interest, with many people stopping to chat, learn more about Turnaround, and take away leaflets to share with their churches and communities.

Our Christmas cards and bunting were especially popular, and the atmosphere throughout the afternoon was warm, friendly, and full of encouragement.

We are delighted to share that the fundraising efforts raised over £200, with further sales still ongoing — an incredible result that will directly support our work with people experiencing homelessness and vulnerability in Bristol.

We are deeply grateful for the time, care, and enthusiasm shown by everyone involved. Events like this highlight the strength of community support and the difference it makes to our work every day.

Thank you for helping us continue to offer sanctuary, empowerment, and hope.
