We also organise several day trips & weekend retreats that run throughout the year.
A befriending programme connecting people to alleviate isolation and grow friendship. The 10-week program puts in touch local volunteers with our community of people settling in Bristol for friendship and support.

Not a runner? Sponsor us instead!
With 45 runners and counting, this is our biggest year yet!
On the 10th of May, our dedicated team of runners will take on the 10k and Half-Marathon to raise sponsorship for an incredible cause. Team ABC is made up of a wonderful mix of people who care deeply about this cause- including staff from local schools, volunteers, ABC staff, friends and family. We’re even bringing along a few little ones, who’ll be tackling the mini and junior runs!
Together we’re running to raise funds for Aid Box Community, helping to provide support, supplies and sanctuary to refugees and those seeking asylum in Bristol! 🌟
