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 space where people can get a warm welcome, enjoy a tea or coffee, and find out about other services and organisations that can support them. It’s a cosy, friendly place to meet others, play games, use art supplies, access a computer, or simply relax.
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.

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.
