14/07/2023: Annual Charity Commission's Report on 'Trust'

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.

01/05/2023: Freestyle Bristol

"Freestyle Bristol is a digital platform curated by young people, for young people. We are an unrestricted space promoting creators, innovators, activists, etc. After the challenges of the last couple of years, we decided our mission would be to shine a light on what is happening in Bristol, to capture the stories and the [far too often] hidden talent that makes up this amazing city we call home."

01/04/2023: Uncle Paul's Chilli Charity

"Founded in 2020, Uncle Paul’s Chilli Charity is set in a unique, rural environment. We welcome young people and adults who may have experienced social disadvantages or barriers to learning and/or employment. Using our farmland setting, beneficiaries can learn and develop new skills, as well as gain experience and qualifications needed for successful and sustainable employment. Our key focuses are on education, wellbeing and social prescribing."

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."
