Since 2007, the People’s Republic of Stokes Croft – PRSC – has worked tirelessly to promote civil liberty with a particular focus on public space.

Lockdown 3.0 means all our public spaces are temporarily closed.
We are still running our Street Survival sessions, as the homeless still need support during this time (here’s how you can help), and the Stokes Croft Food Project is also still open.
