What’s working well, or not so well? Future plans and ideas Church’s congregation is from all over Bristol, lots of volunteers and also wide range of visitors from Bristol, UK and worldwide. Facilities need to be improved in order to welcome people, encourage them to stay longer, and get the most out of their visit. Further work and some innovative ideas needed to encourage more use of the Church facilities by the local community. Major plans for the development of a new Visitor Centre, improved facilities for the choir and opportunities for the local community to benefit from these changes. Meanwhile the Church is keen to look at ways of utilising existing space more fully for wider community benefit and involvement and trying out new ideas.
