From Wikipedia,

The People's Republic of Stokes Croft (PRSC)was launched 22 September 2007 by founding member and current chairman Chris Chalkley, is a community organisation based in the Stokes Croft area of Bristol.

Its main aim is to "provide benefit to The Community by promoting the interests of the area", which include creativity, culture and the local economy.

It has had some success in getting local people involved in how their area is developed, and encouraging street art which has improved the appearance of formerly derelict buildings. However, some residents consider that PRSC's main supporters tend not to stay long and are somewhat detached from the community.

In 2011, a poster commemorating the recent riots in the area was created by local artist Banksy, with some of the proceeds of its sale going towards the PRSC.
