As part of the Impact Alliance, St Monica Trust is supporting delivery of All Together Now, a multi-year project delivered by Bristol Beacon that uses arts and creativity to help reduce loneliness across the West of England.
We’re excited to share that the All Together Now Fund is now open!
This fund supports creative projects that help people feel more connected through arts, culture and creativity.
