Support, Supplies, and Sanctuary for Refugees and People Seeking Asylum in Bristol
Our Services
We welcome people of every religion, race and ability with no judgment. We expect everyone to be kind to each other, while respecting personal space. We hope you enjoy being part of this loving community.
Where people can choose with dignity free quality items donated by the public - from clothing, toiletries, and toys, to household and electrical items.
Open Monday - Friday, from 10.30am - 3.30pm.
Within our hub we hold ABC Cafe, a daily drop-in service where 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. ABC Cafe is 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 activity groups provide 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 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.
A directory to free services that support refugees and those seeking asylum in the Bristol area. 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.
