Our Community Hubs

Our community hubs bring people together to build healthier, happier neighbourhoods in Oldbury Court, Stockwood, and Henbury and Brentry.

We deliver services in Bristol’s forgotten postcodes, bringing people together, enriching lives and reducing isolation and loneliness.Each hub is shaped by the people who live there. The goal is sustainable change away from the life-limiting effects of deprivation and towards communities genuinely flourishing.

What Are Community Hubs?

Community Hubs are collaborative initiatives led by Bristol Charities in partnership with residents and local organisations. They provide opportunities for people to come together, access support, and participate in activities that promote well-being and connection.

All our hubs are designed to address local needs and foster a sense of belonging.

“Each time I visit the Food Club, no matter what kind of day I’ve had, I’m always met with such warmth, vibrancy, and support from the caring and understanding staff. Even on my worst days, they seem to know just how to help, whether it’s offering advice or connecting me with services like shelter support for rent struggles… What could be a difficult and potentially shameful experience, asking for help, never feels that way at the Food Club. Thank you so much for keeping me fed, afloat, and going during these changing times.”

– A member of our Food Club

“It’s inspired me to think about what community should look like… What a vibrant, diverse, buzzing and welcoming event. The community have really embraced the invitation to be part of this place. Stuff can happen here.”

– Feedback from the launch of the Vassall Community Hub

“This is an amazing group! so needed in our area!” and “The space is amazing! And having a cuppa still hot is really so good when mostly mine is cold with being a mum.”

– A member of Tea and Tots

“It’s been really nice talking to the other dads. We don’t have anything like this in the area. When will this be happening again? It’s nice to have something like this on the weekend.”

– A member of Dad’s Breakfast

“I am now spending more time at the VC than at home because of all the lovely things to do.”
