We are extremely fortunate to have strong links with our local Church.  St Aidens with St George welcome us to services at the Church every Christmas and Easter.

We are always proud to attend the annual St George Community Fair, also held at St Aiden with St George Church in March.  This year we displayed information about our wonderful library.

Charity Links

Through the work of Mrs Hennys, our Family Support Worker, we have been building links with local charities who support families in Bristol.  We work closely with ERIC, the Children’s Incontinence Charity and were very privileged to be invited to go along to the ERIC headquarters in March when Princess Anne visited them.

We are a collection point for donations to the East Bristol Foodbank and at Christmas we support the Foodbank and Next Link by collating gift bags that have been generously decorated and filled by children and parents from Air Balloon with items such as stationery, toiletries and Christmas food treats. The filled bags are given to families using the Foodbank or living in an emergency refuge over the festive period. At Christmas in 2014 we donated 464 bags and in 2015 we filled over 650.  You can find out more about the Foodbank at http://eastbristol.foodbank.org.uk/and http://nextlinkhousing.co.uk/
