Robert Earnshaw

A Pillar of Help Bristol’s Homeless

Robert Earnshaw who was an integral part of Help Bristol’s Homeless, sadly passed away on the 31st of January. Rob was a friend to many at HBH. He was a champion of the organisation and cause of HBH. His memory will live on and inspire others.

At request of Rob’s family HBH helped to raise money for a new container in memory of Robert Earnshaw. On 12th March 2021 we successfully raised £3,720 ( + est. £682.50  ) with 103 supporters in 28 days. We thank the community who supported this fundraiser.

The fundraiser has closed but we need to continue to raise money if we are going to be able to achieve the family’s wishes for an entire micro flat in his name.
