June 2024
The Noise 2024 took place over 6 weeks ago with over 750 volunteers involved in showing God's love in practical ways across the city together on one weekend. Over the years, this annual event was meant to be an opportunity to serve in local neighbourhoods but also be open to catching a longer term vision for our lives individually and together. Catch up with quotes, photos and what happened HERE.
Bristol Noise charity's vision is to inspire you, and other Christians across our city, with how we can all be showing God's love in practical ways throughout the year. Noise 365 is a resource to channel the stories, ideas and learning we find across our city and further afield as we seek to do just that. Please check out our website here for more details.
We are now in an exciting season of developing the 365 model, and have begun conversations in Knowle West, Fishponds, amongst a strong desire to continue building on our work in places like Horfield and Sea Mills. We are bringing together volunteers and organisations who have a community minded approach and would love to get involved in these projects moving forward. If this is you, then please get in touch with us!
Below are some ways you can stay connected with what's next. |

We are hosting a Noise 365 Project Co-ordinator Training evening on Thursday 11th July from 7.30-9.30pm at Ebenezer Church (286 Filton Avenue, Horfield, BS7 0BA). This is for anyone in local churches or organisations who is interested in learning how to assess and run practical projects in their local communities.
This training is aimed at running projects that are referred by other organisations or support workers for vulnerable families/individuals. Also, the principals learned in this training event can be used in environmental clearance projects on public land or working at community centres/schools.
