A charity dedicated to supporting Bristol’s homeless community is inviting people to its 7th annual art auction in September.

The auction is set to take place at Loco Klub on September 25, with Joe Sims returning as the auctioneer.
is needed now More than ever
Jasper Thompson founded the Help Bristol’s Homeless charity in 2017
In 2024, the charity was able to raise £14,889 at the yearly art auction, which helped them inch closer to their “mission” of supporting those in need.
Now in 2025, the HBH team are hoping to raise even more money and make this their “most successful” auction yet.
Alongside the auction, anybody purchasing tickets for the event will be entered into a raffle which includes prizes like signed sports memorabilia and meals at award-winning restaurants.
A book from their painting event in May will also be launched on the day of the auction.
HBH was founded in 2017 by Jasper Thompson as a way of providing an effective solution to the growing homelessness in Bristol. Other than offering temporary accommodation, HBH also provides professional support for dealing with problems in housing, health, employment, and addiction.
