The Annual Charity Commission has published a comprehensive report on perceived public trust in charities, charitable spending, and charitable initiatives.

"The findings affirm last year's research on transparency. It's easier for the public to trust charities that are small and local, and causes they feel personally connected to."

AskingBristol welcomes the deep-dive report into the effects of recent economic development and the landscape of the Third Sector post-pandemic.

01/03/2023: StreetSpace

"StreetSpace offers: sessions in our space in Knowle West, one-to-one or small groups working with individuals both in and out of school, detached youth work on the streets and more.

We aim to provide consistent and inspirational relationships with young people through creating a safe space away from the streets in which to experience real respect and hopefully, grasp a wider view upon the world in which we live. This will increase their confidence, knocking down the socially implanted walls between the young person and their dreams."
