Belly Laughs across Bristol for The Julian Trust
Posted on: 03 Jan 2019After the welter of festive-infused solipsistic excesses, how about sparing a thought for those less fortunate than yourself than by attending a few gigs to raise money for a good cause as part of Belly Laughs, which takes place at various venues across Bristol from Wednesday 9th to Tuesday 29th January 2019.
Playing at a range of the city's restaurants, cafes and bars, all the money raised from the gigs will go towards helping with the incredible work at Julian Trust Night Shelter, which provides hot meals, emergency accommodation and showers for 18 single homeless people aged 18 and over.
