Since 2007, the People’s Republic of Stokes Croft – PRSC – has worked tirelessly to promote civil liberty with a particular focus on public space. Sweeping, painting and speaking out are part of their resistance to zealous overregulation of independent initiative. Their lead has arguably encouraged others to do the same and, as a result, Stokes Croft remains a hub of confident and creative dissent.
Stokes Croft Food Project
Stokes Croft Food Project is a collaboration between local businesses, charities and campaigners, set up to tackle hunger and food poverty in Stokes Croft by providing nutritious food to those most in need in our community, particularly during this global health crisis.
Hello Lockdown 2.0! PRSC is currently closed to the public, however you can still hire The Space for socially distanced business, educational or support group meetings, and we are still running our Street Survival sessions, as the homeless still need support during this time (here’s how you can help).
The Stokes Croft China shop is also closed, however you can still browse and buy online – with FREE Click & Collect, FREE Delivery within two miles of the shop, and FREE UK Delivery on all orders over £40!
We fund our entire operation through china shop sales and venue hire – by ordering from our online shop or donating you can help to ensure our future existence. We appreciate all your patience and support throughout this difficult time.
Street Survival
Our regular skill-sharing/self-help sessions for local rough-sleepers are still happening on Tuesday afternoons from 2-4pm. Survival skills, tips and tricks for living on the streets, tea & coffee, plus a blanket exchange offering tents, bedding & toiletries.
