Our latest bulletin was published on April 14th with an invitation to take part in the next stage of our ………
Research Project
In October we announced that we were raising funds to commission a research project to help re-vision the Bristol Homeless Forum to be fit for the future of Bristol. The research brief was published and proposals invited for a deadline of February 10th and four proposals were received.
These have now been evaluated and we have commissioned Beautiful Insights to conduct the research.
The first stage of the research includes interviews with a selected cross section of stakeholders so some of you may be receiving an invitation to participate in that part of the process. More detail on the process will follow at a later date.

Want to join the forum?
Bristol Homeless Forum is open to any individual or organisation working with the issues of people who are homeless in Bristol. While there is much attention to those who are currently street homeless or rough sleeping we recognise that this is only a small, visible part of a much wider issue which affects many more people.
