Since the first contactless donation point was installed opposite College Green back in September 2019, over £70,000 has been raised.

 

Half of the money raised has been provided for Caring in Bristol to continue to develop and grow their Homelessness Prevention project which has launched a bespoke support service in East Bristol.

This service is directing people in financial difficulty away from homelessness and aims to help hundreds of people, providing them with support, advice and information to keep them safe and warm in their own homes.

The donations received from TAP for Bristol have so far helped 405 people directly who have benefited from the emergency support aspect of the scheme. Also, with the ongoing funding support for homelessness prevention services, donations received will enable Caring in Bristol and CHAS to provide advice and support for hundreds more families and individuals across Bristol.
