We support small charities working in Bristol, BANES and South Gloucestershire with a focus on pump priming the development of small charities and also helping with initial seed funding for larger appeals.We support charities working with disadvantaged children and young people, rehabilitation, severe poverty and homelessness, the elderly. We do not normally support large national charities.
