The LoveBristol Social Enterprises

LoveBristol’s social enterprises have our core values at their centre - Community, Creativity and Care. These budding Stokes Croft not-for-profit businesses are unique hives of activity in their own right, with love in their DNA. Whether directly supporting vulnerable people through volunteering or employment, or informally through friendships within the teams and the public, we believe in releasing potential and caring for our community.

The Second Combing Hair Salon

The babershop is located within Happytat on Stokes Croft, specialising in Mens & Womens Dry cuts, Shaves and beard trims. Tony takes pride in offering not only sharp haircuts, but also taking time to really get to know who’s sitting in the chair. The story behind The Second Combing is a beautiful one and an amazing example of the power of believing in people and helping dreams become a reality. The barbershop is a place for community and belonging - somewhere to share your story, to be heard and be known.

Treasure, Stokes Croft

Treasure is Stokes Croft’s very own boutique charity shop and community hub raising funds for the local area.

Come check out our hand-picked donated clothing, shoes and accessories plus handmade items created the the women who work and volunteer in our shop. All of the money we raise goes into a ‘Treasure Chest Fund’ that can be applied to by people and projects in the Stokes Croft area, feeding resources into the local community. We have funded local artists to do murals, educational projects with young people and even a literature festival. We also run a weekly women’s group called ‘Tea Time Thursdays’ where we enjoy a cuppa and something sweet while we do something creative and crafty or a bit of pampering. Ladies are welcome to join us from 2-4pm every Thursday.
