Breakfast Run
If you are around the Bus Station in Bristol early on Monday mornings,
you might see some people from Bristol Easton Corps serving hot food and
drinks to anyone who is sleeping rough. Up to 25 people each week are
contacted and fed with hot sausage & bacon rolls and Tea/Coffee.
This service, which is organised by Mrs Ann Bruce, is staffed by
volunteers, and is always looking for new helpers, drivers with cars, and
people prepared to cook the food.
Day Centre for the Homeless
A variety of needy people make their way to our premises every Monday morning to be helped. From 9.30
the centre is open for coffee, tea and toast. A two or three course lunch is then provided for up to
50 people at midday. Most weeks a food parcel is also given out, and clothes
may be available. Organised by Sheila Rees and
staffed by volunteers, this facility provides a vital service to those in need, many of whom are homeless.
The provision of the Breakfast run and the day centre are provided free of charge. We rely upon the
generosity of the local public and the business community to assist us in this very demanding work,
therefore any help with food, time and donations are always gratefully accepted.
Luncheon Club
This takes place once a week on a Thursday, Tea and Coffee is served at 10.30am and a three course
lunch is provided at 12.00 noon. A nominal charge of £1.50 is made for this meal. This is open to anyone
who would like to attend, at the moment there are vacancies. This is followed by a meeting of the Over
60's club at 2.15pm, to which you are also welcome. Training / Meeting AccommodationAs part of our outreach to the local community we welcome requests to use our facilities. Recently we have hosted training days,
