Bristol’s Blonde Angels Street Team Appeal 2024

Blonde Angel Street Team was formed in Bristol in 2019 by two people each carrying five survival backpacks, Sean & Ella.

 

It was named in memory of Sean’s cousins wife Rachel Ross who passed away suddenly from Leukemia .

 

It is a group of volunteers with one common goal to help homeless people on the streets. Collecting and distributing kindly donated essential supplies at weekly Friday drop in Stokes Croft Bristol , a bi-weekly drop on a Sunday outside Broadmead Tesco , Bristol. Also once a month a street walk in Bath .

 

These include Hot Food, Hot Drinks, Snacks, Toiletries, Clothing, Bags & other various essentials! In addition to this we have volunteers walking around Bristol – handing out supplies when they can / giving words of hope . Homeless Shelters and newly housed people requiring essential supplies are also catered for where possible.

 

 

The Facebook group  has 6900 members with lots of people doing their bit – raising money for things needed / knitting groups making wool hats gloves / scarfs . Schools donating harvest festival food and snacks . Also we get support from companies and food companies / stores with unwanted / surplus supplies . We even have our own Christmas card maker – who makes 300-500 cards a year for us to hand out .

 

 

This years Xmas bag appeal is underway

 

The Facebook page has grown into a forum for homeless – to help them to make their way back . Hundreds of homeless are helped each year as they fill the gap with supplies and words of hope .
