Back in 2016, the Downs festival hit the Bristol scene with an epic homecoming show from the legendary Massive Attack.
Since then the Downs festival has grown from strength to strength and has now featured top names like Seasick Steve, De La Soul, Soul II Soul, Ibibio Sound Machine, The Districts, and Keir.
This year’s festival was no different being headlined by the excellent Noel Gallagher and his High Flying Birds, with support from the likes of Paul Weller and The Heavy.

It was the second year that HBH had attended the festival and the atmosphere was incredible. During the event, we continued to showcase our new John Lewis micro flat, and we received a fantastic response from the public.
This year Jasper also sat on the homelessness panel alongside charities to discuss what can be done to help Bristol’s homeless.
The general public well received the panel with a lot of people raising some excellent points and also giving some good feedback.

It was good for us to hear the public opinions and feedback because it helps us to grow and develop as an organisation.

You can watch the recorded live feed of the panel on our Facebook page.
We are grateful to everybody that turned up and showed their support.
Bristol has an incredible community, and we are proud to part of a city that takes an active role in bringing real change to homelessness.

Yes, I would like to claim Gift Aid

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Help Bristol's Homeless to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Help Bristol's Homeless will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Help Bristol's Homeless receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
