Another 'first' for Bristol businesses

Bristol businesses have a great reputation for innovation with a heart for sustainability. Our sounds, sights, venues and people show off our unique character and every street is an artist’s canvas. But Bristol still has needs - pockets of poverty where people struggle, mental health issues that affect young and old. There are thousands of small local charities and voluntary groups that step in to help and now you can help them.

It's a 'first' for Bristol businesses - book a slot in your diary on 10 October to take part in the first ever Bristol Giving Day when you, you colleagues, your employees will show off your fundraising flair. Activities in the making include a fancy-dress treasure hunt, tug-of-war, abseiling, music, street theatre and more. Can you "inspire generocity"?

Bristol Giving Day’s proceeds will help our most disadvantaged people have a fair chance of a good life. The Charity Commission states that 90% of charity giving goes to the 6.8% largest charities in the UK but small charities only receive 3% of the total.

So do something fun on Bristol Giving Day and raise money for these local heroes who really need your support. There's masses of information and support to help you on the Bristol Giving Day website so sign up now to help change local lives.
