With thousands of registered charities and a plethora of identity groups and cultures, Bristol is a diverse, edgy, and unique city full of history. However, there exist deep inequalities across the region, affecting the opportunities available to those from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Many voluntary groups are working continuously to minimise the effects of those inequalities.
Three years of social and academic research has provided us with a clear understanding of the voluntary sector. Charities can benefit from four types of 'ask' - Things, Expertise, Time, and Services.
We believe passionately in the 'bottom-up' approach, and that the best way to achieving this is 'MultiVarious Giving'. 'Asks' are directed through the SuperConnectivity of Bristol to find their best fulfillment. This creates long-lasting connections across the region.
A little can go a long way.
We are focused on generating significant social impacts through our model. These social impacts are felt by charities of all types and sizes throughout Greater Bristol. 'Levelling Up' for charities is more important than ever giving the challenges the third sector faces today.
Thoughts, snapshots, plans for change; a regular look into some of our key ideas and principles.
Our Stories are the Essence of Our Work.
Real Needs – Real Impacts. See Our ‘Stories and Documents’ Section for In-Depth Publications, Articles, and Academic Work.
