What has the St Monica Trust done for Bristol?

We're proud of the impact we have on our city.

For our residents and customers, it's delivered by creating vibrant, caring communities. For our staff it's about making people's jobs more satisfying and rewarding. And for Bristol and the surrounding area, it's about partnering with outside organisations and supporting disadvantaged older people through the work of our Community Impact Team.

Watch the video and follow the frisbee to find out more (and don't forget to hang on for the final credits, it's worth it!) or read our latest Social Impact Report.
