Be a Community Partner

Our Community engagement programme is a 3-year project to develop activities across the city throughout the year using the annual Festival as a focal point for bringing communities together in celebration of their diversity. 

The key aims of the project are:

• Provide  more opportunities for everyday interaction between host communities and refugees and asylum seekers to help prevent feelings of loneliness and isolation.
• To enable  host communities to have the confidence and knowledge to engage with refugee and asylum seekers in their area, enabling them to create places of welcome and inclusion.
• Encourage refugees and asylum seekers to contribute their skills, knowledge and experience to their local community. 
• To animate local community spaces with vibrant events for all ages and backgrounds. 

We are currently working in a number of areas within Bristol, but would like to encourage more communities to get involved.  We can offer support, advice and training to communities.  If you are a community hub or group please get in touch with our engagement team to get involved!
