Homes. Hubs. Hope. We Build Foundations for Bristol’s Future

We design innovative housing, empower local charities, and foster community-led change—because thriving neighbourhoods start with spaces where people and ideas connect.

Our Vision

We work together to end poverty in Bristol

Our Mission

We exist to empower communities through dignified housing, collaborative hubs, and the infrastructure charities need to thrive.

The Problem: Bristol’s communities face fragmented support—charities lack resources, residents lack stable housing, and neighbourhoods lack spaces to connect.

The Solution: We create homes that anchor communities, hubs that spark collaboration, and infrastructure that helps charities thrive—building a fairer Bristol together.

“I cannot thank you enough for helping me get a proper bed. I have been on a camp bed for 5 weeks. I have a spinal problem… that has got worse. Today I got an orthopedic three quarter bed, with a nice metal frame. It is so comfortable. Thank you so much. I medically needed a bed and I am looking forward to sleeping in comfort. With gratitude.”

“Dear Sir, Madam and all who do the magnificent work at Bristol Charities,
You recently donated £120 to my mother, who has a damaged spine and neck; making sleeping very painful. I got a memory foam from Bristol Bed Maker with other funds to make up the shortfall. It is wonderful! Thank you so much it really makes a difference!”
