Story

The Parks' story

Five years ago, the Parks family – David, Chas, Hannah, Noah & Luke – moved to the UK to lead a dying community church in a deprived part of Bristol. Having raised their own financial support, they began to work in and amongst the community in East Bristol.

Over the past 5 years, the church has grown from 10 to over 100 people who meet regularly, and have established various social outreach projects – most notably running kids holiday clubs, parents and tots groups, and annual community events reaching hundreds of local residents.

The Parks have a vision to not only reach disenfranchised socio-econimic groups in East Bristol, but also have a passion to provide facilities for both children with special needs, and respite for their parents.

The ask

Currently, every three years the family have to raise £10,000 to renew their Visa. Now, they have the opportunity to apply for permanent residency which costs a one-off payment of £10,000 for the whole family.

Riverside Community Church in Illinois, USA have graciously given half of the amount, leaving us with £5,000 to raise.

Help us to keep the Parks in Bristol! #ParksIt
