Our Welcome Hub is the beating heart of ABC. Here, we provide a warm welcome, inform newcomers on other services and organisations that are available to them, offer tea and coffee and a friendly chat.
We also host a daily drop-in in our Community Room, which provides a warm and cosy space for our service users to meet people, play games, use art supplies, access a computer or simply relax and unwind in.
Our weekly activity groups are a space for sharing skills, learning, laughing, and chatting - a time for people to take care of their wellbeing, meet friends and feel belonging. We offer a broad range of activities, including Men’s Football, Women’s Group, swimming lessons, multi-sports and more!
We also organise several day trips & weekend retreats that run throughout the year from beach days, to theatre trips and camping stays.
Connections is our befriending programme where we connect refugees and people seeking asylum with local volunteers around Bristol. This 10-week programme allows people rebuilding their lives in Bristol to build friendships, develop support networks and improve their confidence.
Our Get Help page contains all the support services available to refugees and those seeking asylum in Bristol.
This includes healthcare, practical support with living items, housing support services, legal advice services, English classes available, employment help, free activities available, LGBTQ+ support and much more.
