A group of people in Bristol trying to create a grassroots, community-led fundraising support network that will act as an alternative to the established grant-givers and charity networks in the city have raised another £10,000 and are inviting bids for it.
It will be the fifth time in three years that Redistro - a small group of volunteers who wanted to do something a bit different to challenge the way charity is distributed in Bristol - have opened up their process for accepting applications for the money they’ve raised.
The small group hit the headlines last year when their fourth fundraising round was boosted to £15,000 by the unspent money raised to pay defence costs and possible fines incurred by the Colston Four. They were found not guilty so never had to pay any fines, so the money raised by people in Bristol for them was passed on to Redistro.
