Joining in with what’s happening locally
Spring is now upon us and Noise 365 is about to support and resource a number of projects, events and initiatives across the city. Even though the annual city-wide event is no more, we are still seeing May as a great month for groups to run activities, which we continue to celebrate and support.
We firmly believe that individuals and organisations have an incredibly influential part to play in helping local people build relationships, and get practical help and support for any need. There are loads of brilliant organisations out there that we love connecting with, who all do incredible work on the detail of people’s specific circumstances.
Bristol Noise is different in the sense that we are relationship and community focused before we are project based. We love building connections, and seeing people thrive, but know that this is best done in collaboration with others, and with relationships at the heart of all we do. As a snapshot, this is what we are up to:
Projects
We are busy planning and preparing project days to happen in Knowle West (May), Sea Mills (in July), and others (coming soon).
Events
We will be supporting events in Hambrook (March), Filton (May), Staple Hill (May) Knowle West (May), and others (coming soon).
Initiatives
We have also been working with churches that are part of the North Bristol and South Gloucestershire Foodbank network. We are bringing different groups and organisations together, and will be launching a community connection space in Mangotsfield very soon.
If we are in your area, or you want to connect with anything we are involved in, send us a message and we’d love to make contact!

The transformation at Brislington URC for the new Community Cafe! Woodlands Southside Church and the United Reformed Church in Brislington worked really hard with some help from Noise365 Knowle West Team to transform the space into a warm and welcoming cafe.
Fantastic that the first Monday sessions have seen over 65 guests already! Open Mondays 11-3pm (term time only) at the URC Brislington, Grove Park, BS4 3LG.

We need your help to be able grow our new Noise 365 vision. As you will probably appreciate, there is not much 'people resource' behind Bristol Noise charity but some very committed volunteers who give a lot of time to support and resource communities in new practical projects and community events.
