Partner with us to improve the lives of Bristol’s most vulnerable residents

We are committed to building strong, mutually beneficial relationships with businesses of all sizes across the city. We are an independent charity providing free, impartial and confidential advice to anyone who needs it. We have been helping Bristolians for nearly 50 years, and each year support around 4,000 individuals and families, including some of the most disadvantaged people within our diverse communities.

We rely on the support of local people, funders and businesses to help us improve the circumstances of 90% of the people that come to us for support with issues including debt, benefits, employment, housing, food and utilities bills, relationships and discrimination. By partnering with us your business will be demonstrating that it cares about its local community.
