Our spotlight series focusses on the Welcome Spaces established in response to the Cost of Living Crisis. Recently, Rachel Varley, VCSE Development Advisor - Outreach, visited JTE Hub at Shirehampton Methodist Church to guage the feeling on the ground of this vital space. 

What does your welcome space offer the community? 

"We hold a drop-in twice a week with free drinks, snacks, access to Wi-Fi and charging points. Sometimes there are specific activities, like craft and creating displays for the Shirehampton Window Wanderland.  

Since the Cost of Living Crisis began, Voscur has been working tirelessly alongside key partners to help shape Bristol's response. From advocating for VCSE input at strategic meetings, to shining a spotlight on Welcoming Spaces, we've remained committed to our cause throughout this challenging time.
