We develop community sports clubs, equipping local people to provide transformational development opportunities for children and young people, irrespective of their background or ability.
We build, equip and up-skill local sports clubs and turn them into thriving local facilities, connected into other local partners such as schools, disabled people’s organisations and other local charities – all working together to deliver real change and opportunity for local young people.
We train and support volunteer sports coaches and club leaders in a range of vital skills such as establishing new sessions to attract more deprived and disabled young people, building personal development pathways for participants towards education or employment and building the financial sustainability of the club so it can grow and serve more local young people for years to come.
We are the only charity in the UK today focussed entirely on doing this and we have developed a unique model that is measurable, cost-effective and replicable. This club development model has been recognised with a number of awards, including most recently Best Sports Charity, Community or CSR initiative at the 2017 Sports Business Awards.
Door to door accessible service for people who prefer to have their own supportive and safe transport.
We pride ourselves on helping you to get out and enjoy life, to become more active or just to do what you need or want to do day to day.
Our aim is to make every journey you take a stress free door to destination experience. Whether it’s a few miles to the local supermarket or across the country to visit family. The service runs 365 days a year 24:7, including Christmas and bank holidays. We operate from the South West of England to anywhere in the UK mainland.
Once you become a member you can book the service for regular journeys in advance and do not need to telephone again unless you need to cancel the booking. Our booking process is simple – just ring, email or text us the details and we will get back to you to confirm your booking as soon as possible.

“I use this company all the time. They get me to work and back every day. They take me to all my doctors and hospital appointments. I would be lost without this company. The drivers are very helpful. It is community transport not a taxi so sometimes you may have to compromise. However, it provides a great service and allows those of us with mobility issues to get out and about”. (Member September 2021)
Typical journeys our current members make include; hospital, dentist, or doctors’ appointments, shopping, work, respite/holiday breaks, sport activities and social events.
“We use this company for my son’s hospital, school, absolutely everywhere we would be very lost without this company amazing drivers”. (Member’s mother October 2021)

Our service is intended to be independent and flexible to meet the needs of our members. We are a not for profit community interest company whose aims are to provide a financially, as well as physically, accessible service to our members to get out and about, doing things they otherwise would not do because of transport issues.
We receive grants from charitable organisations which enables us to subsidise some journeys, but not all. So it is best to obtain quotes for longer journeys. We do not receive funding from any local council in order to keep our transport services flexible, but do operate under contracts from Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset to provide specific transport services.
We are keen to expand into other areas in the South West and further afield under our franchise business plan.

Life Cycle UK's mission is to help more people get cycling, to transform lives and the environment.
In our age of climate emergency, rising inequality and public health crisis, we believe:
· More cycling is vital for better physical, mental and environmental health
· Cycling can be safe, affordable and practical for most short journeys
· With the right support, almost anyone can cycle
In order to achieve this, we have a range of supportive services to help get people on their bikes and exploring Bristol.
Get Cycling! Courses
Our 6- week group cycling courses are aimed at both beginners and returners, so whatever your skills and confidence levels our instructors can work with you to reach your cycling goals. The 2-hour sessions are fun, sociable and relaxed, and take place once a week.
One-to-One Cycle Lessons
If you would prefer to learn 1-1, our cycle instructors can meet you near your home and complete up to three one hour lessons with you for free.
Cycle Buddies
Our Cycle Buddies volunteer scheme is for those wanting an extra supportive hand as they continue their cycling journey. You will be matched with a volunteer in your area who can help you explore local roads, route plan and build further towards your cycling goal.

EFT is an amazing mind body technique with which you can release stuck negative emotions you might be holding on to within your energy system.

EFT is a remarkably quick, easy and effective way to resolve stress, anxiety, fears, phobias, trauma, performance issues, physical pain and much more!
EFT has completely transformed my life and my greatest wish now is to work with others to help them transform their lives too.

Food clubs have been set up all over the city of Bristol and are a great way for people that are finding things tough financially to get a regular box of fresh, nutritious food at the same time as reducing food waste, and we hope it will also be a way of destigmatising food banks.
Our club runs weekly from the United Reform Church Hall on West Street in Bedminster and supports anyone locally that is economically vulnerable.
Annual membership is £1 and a bag of food worth £10-15 is available weekly for £3.50. There will be collection slots as part of the Covid secure measures in place.

What we do We create a wide range of opportunities for parents and carers of children with autism to connect with each other. Our strong community helps give parents and carers the knowledge needed to help them better support the children they look after. We provide clear, relevant information about autism to parents and carers. By doing so, we hope to improve the futures and outcomes of autistic children. We use this website, our Facebook page and email to signpost information about local and national services and support. As much as possible, we share the voices of autistic adults because we know they are best placed to teach us about our children. We work with local venues and attractions to make public places more accessible for families with autistic children. We provide volunteering and work experience opportunities that enable parents, carers and autistic young people to gain skills and improve confidence. Our structure BAS is an Unincorporated Association, which means we exist to serve the local autism family community. It also means any money that we raise or that is donated is spent solely on events, activities or things that will help families affected by autism in Bristol and surrounding areas. We have strong values. Our funding comes from private individual donations and grants. We have a core team of decision makers that runs the organisation. We are not a charity, and we are not council funded.

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
Female genital mutilation (FGM), also known as female circumcision or female genital cutting, is illegal in the UK and is a form of child abuse.
There are no health benefits and it harms women’s health in many ways. It involves removing healthy female genital tissue, and interferes with the natural function of the female body.
Bristol Clinical Commissioning Group is a leader in the effort to raise awareness of the complications for women’s health issues associated with FGM.
We train professionals, work with community groups that are affected, and campaign to help, safeguard and protect women and girls who have undergone this procedure.
If you think a child is at risk
If you believe a child is at risk of FGM you should contact:
Health professionals have a mandatory duty to report any case of FGM they see to the police and social care. If you are a health professional, you can use the Department of health Risk assessment template to support your assessment.
The Bristol Crossroads group has been supporting the transgender community in and around Bristol, under various names, for over 25 years. The meetings are informal and provide the opportunity for all transgender people (male-to-female, female-to-male, non-binary, gender fluid, questioning) and their partners and family to meet and dress in a safe and supportive environment. There are changing facilities available for those who need them.
Not all transgender people can dress at home or have the confidence to join the more public girls and boys at other venues. At a Crossroads meeting you can dress and chat with other people like yourself, learn new skills (e.g. makeup), find out about places that provide the special items that we need to make us in to the girl or boy we want to be (e.g. breastforms, clothes etc) and get information about other groups and activities that you may like to take part in.
If you are taking your first tentative steps out of the closet or have only been able to dress occasionally at home but you want to meet and chat with others just like you, or your family or partner would like to chat with others in their situation, contact us and come along to a meeting. It could be the start of a whole new world.
If you wish to telephone, please ring Lauren and Lesley for Crossroads enquiries on

Nordic walking can be used from rehabilitation right up to super-fitness. It’s a flexible exercise where you can find a pace that suits you. This safe, fun sport is also loved by physiotherapists as the poles put your body in the perfect walking posture and use over 90% of your skeletal muscle.

Each panel comprises engineers, craftsman and medical professionals. Remap provides custom made equipment and devices to help disabled people of all ages to improve their quality of life, enabling them to perform everyday tasks, or to pursue a hobby that was previously impossible for them. Please note that we do not carry a stock of aids, but that each aid is custom made to suit the client. Where commercially available aids are unsuitable, or simply do not exist, Remap can usually design and make, or adapt existing equipment, to produce a custom aid tailored to the needs of the client. Our services are provided free of charge. Each local panel is responsible for raising its own funds. We use these to buy materials, although many of our materials are donated, and we also recycle items we receive from a variety of sources. As all of our panel members are volunteers, our only expenses other than materials are travel and postage. We are therefore a very cost effective charity. Our cases range from simple household aids for people with poor strength in their limbs, to complex cases involving design and manufacturing challenges. The Bristol Remap Panel will take on cases from the area covered by Bristol City Council, South Gloucestershire Council, and North Somerset Council. If the client lives outside of this area, there will be another Remap Panel who will provide a service. We can in some circumstances cover some parts of the Bath area (BANES)

Bristol Samaritans provide free confidential and non-judgemental telephone helpline service to any person seeking emotional support, and particularly those in imminent danger of self harm or of taking their own life. You can call them for free using a landline or mobile on 116123.
An email service is also provided to callers on jo@samaritans.org where a caring response will be received within 24 hours.
From our branch in the centre of Bristol we provide confidential emotional support to those in need of a safe space to talk over problems, feelings, stress or anything that maybe worrying them, especially those in extreme despair.
During 2019 our 170 trained volunteers responded to over 38,300 contacts for support by phone, email and face to face visits to our branch. In addition there were face to face contacts from prison inmates with Listeners we trained in the prisons we support. I should say that 80% of our calls do not express suicidal thoughts, but just need a space to talk. We also provide talks for community groups, schools and other organisations interested in our work. We have partnerships with a number of local organisations, including local health services, CRUSE and as noted above, in HM Prison Bristol and HM Prison Eastwood Park.

Shared Reading brings people together in small groups to read aloud a book, short story or poem.
Group members can choose to read, share personal reflections, or simply listen – it’s a welcoming space for individuals to form real connections with the literature, each other and themselves.
A trained Reader Leader will select, sometimes with the help of their group, texts to read each week. Texts are chosen because they deal with some of the complexities of human experience. Reader Leaders will make sure individuals’ thoughts and feelings are recognised and valued.
Shared Reading is for everyone. Many people who come will be experiencing a transition – bereavement, retirement, a change in health, or within their social life. Shared Reading groups provide a warm environment that people want to keep coming back to.
Join us for a free Shared Reading group where a trained facilitator will read aloud great stories and poems. You can relax, listen and join in the conversation about what we have read.
All reading material is provided, as are tea and biscuits.

Cancer Care Map is an online resource to help people living with cancer find care and support services in their local area, anywhere in the UK. The website is run by cancer charity, The Richard Dimbleby Cancer Fund.
How does it work?
People with cancer, their friends and family and healthcare professionals can search for any cancer-related service, free of charge. A team works to make sure the details are up to date.
What services are included?
There is a huge of range of cancer-related support across the UK, run by charities, NHS organisations, community groups and some small practices or private companies. This takes many forms, including:
The Care Act says that local councils must involve people in decisions about their care and support needs. If it would be difficult for someone to be involved without support the council must make sure they get the help they need. If the person doesn’t have someone who can help them they have the right to have an independent Care Act advocate.
Care Act advocates can support:
If the council is making decisions about your care and support they must consider whether you would have ‘substantial difficulty’ being involved. Substantial difficulty would be if you have problems with one or more of these:
The council then needs to consider whether you have an ‘appropriate individual’ to support you. This is someone who the council agree will be available and able to support you. It can be someone in your family or a friend but won’t be someone you don’t want to support you. It can’t be someone who is paid to look after you.
If the council decide that you would have substantial difficulty being involved and do not have an appropriate individual to support you, then you have the right to a Care Act advocate.
An advocate will support you to be involved as much as possible in decisions about your care. Your advocates can help you when the council is:
Your advocate will work with you to help you understand what is happening and to give your views; they can speak for you if you can’t. Your advocate can help you to think about your choices and what is best for you. If you want to challenge the council’s decision your advocate can help you do this too.
Referrals are made through the local council.

The Careline service includes an alarm base unit, which plugs into the telephone line, and a comfortable pendant which goes around the wrist or neck. All attachments are included in the Careline package.
The Careline alarm can easily be installed and tested by the user. Once the test is complete, the user will be connected to our 24-hour Care Team.
In an emergency, the alarm user simply presses the red button on their pendant and the monitoring team will respond. The situation is assessed over the base unit's loudspeaker and help is found in the form of emergency contacts and, if needed, the emergency services.
A Careline alarm is perfect for anyone who could be vulnerable at home, including older people, disabled people and people with health problems. Careline alarms are especially useful for people at risk of falling.
Careline alarms help these groups of people live worry-free in their own homes whilst providing comfort and peace of mind for friends and loved ones.
The Careline alarm service is simple yet profoundly effective. If you need help, simply press the Careline pendant.

Our aims are:
At Cerebral Palsy Plus we recognise the very different needs that cerebral palsy can create. Our motto is “listening to individuals” and since we were established in 1960 we have worked with thousands of people with Cerebral Palsy.
Our services are free of charge to our members and membership itself is free. (For details of how to become a member click here).

Focusing on tackling issues of homelessness and unsuitable housing, CHAS is a charity dedicated to providing lasting solutions to people in housing crisis. By providing high quality housing advice and support, we aim to improve lives in the Bristol community.
CHAS provides free, independent and confidential advice on housing and related matters, to anyone in housing need in Bristol and the surrounding area. We typically operate our service by telephone and before COVID-19 we would also carry out home visits and outreach sessions, we are slowly beginning to increase outreach sessions, most notably with our BOOST Friday morning sessions held at Barton Hill Settlement.
CHAS provides high quality casework that achieves positive outcomes for its service users. Our main focus is helping people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, or living in unsuitable / unsafe accommodation and in need of rehousing. Although we help anyone in housing need, we prioritise those who are most vulnerable or who have had difficulty accessing other advice services. We advise on issues such as homelessness and the threat of homelessness, housing benefit, rent arrears, landlord & tenant problems, private renting, possession action by landlords and security of tenure, housing conditions & disrepair, overcrowding, noise & neighbour nuisance, housing & relationship breakdown, domestic violence, racial and other types of harassment, applications for social housing and supported accommodation.
Our Advice Workers endeavour to work with people until the situation is resolved. If CHAS is unable to resolve a particular issue we will help our client to access a service that can help them. As a small service we cannot always answer the phone but please do leave a voicemail as we pick them up regularly.

Visitors will receive a food box that will last around 3 days plus toiletries if they need them. It is then explained that they can have a box every week for 2 weeks while we work with them to make sure they are linked to the right services.
On the second week we try to find out a little more about their situation. If we feel after 2 weeks that they still require food we are able to extent the time period . All our food in the boxes is ambient and long life but is picked so that meals can be made out of it. As we also have food from Waitrose on a Wednesday and Asda on a Tuesday so people can come along and supplement what they receive daily as this is available to the whole community.
Opens September 2024
Facilities: Free tea and coffee, Mental health support, Free wi-fi, Free charging points for phone and other devices, wellbeing support and Activities such as cooking and budgeting courses.
Our building has been here for many years and the welcome space will be a welcomed addition to what we already offer to the local community.

Families can expect a warm welcome from school staff and then the opportunity to use the facility in confidence to ensure that they are able to provide for their family. We have been working with the local foodbank we are currently able to offer a small pantry of staple goods. We are also making up a number of food parcels that contain cupboard essentials and a few seasonal products that are available to our most vulnerable visitors when there are prolonged periods of school closure, for example over half and end of terms. These are primarily to ensure families have the provisions for any children who would normally receive a hot meal at school to continue to do so when school is closed.

creativeShift CIC creativeShiftCIC is one of the leading organisations in Bristol providing Arts on Referral programmes and creative wellbeing activities, to adults who are experiencing or are vulnerable to, isolation and mental health challenges. Together with our Bristol Arts on Referral Alliance (BARA) partners: Arts and Events Team Bristol City Council, Bristol Public Health, Fresh Arts, Knowle West Healthy Living Centre, Southmead Development Trust and Wellspring Healthy Living Centre, we deliver in areas of under representation, partnering with organisations working locally with marginalised people. Each programme and project is tailored to the particular community, ensuring we engage the most hard to reach people. creativeShift aims to: Improve wellbeing through involvement in arts activities Focus on those who are experiencing or vulnerable to isolation and mental health challenges Bring together different communities through the arts; using arts to create bridges between people, their communities and culture Develop collaborations with relevant organisations in response to need Continue to advance the practice of arts for wellbeing Our programmes connect individuals more with others and encourage them to take greater notice of the world around them; improve individuals’ wellbeing, self-esteem and confidence. The benefits of our work are that people become more active and engaged; share, give and work as part of a group; provide peer support and learn new skills. Participants are referred to our project by local organisations which work with vulnerable people experiencing a range of mental health challenges and health issues, and who are in need of support. For example: homeless people living in supported housing people recovering from drug and alcohol addiction people with mental illness women affected by domestic violence, post-natal depression and other support issues. adults through the social prescribing remit Our projects offer an opportunity to both individuals and the referring organisations, to further progress an individual’s recovery/progression plan through creative activity and help them to engage with wider society by attending a new venue, meet new people, provide peer support and learn new skills. Typically our programmes offer participants weekly 2 hour group workshops for up to 18 sessions. These relaxed and friendly art sessions are led by an artist with a background in socially engaged practice and experienced in facilitating Arts on Referral groups. Participants are gently introduced to a range of ideas and techniques to help them explore their own creativity and learn new skills at their own pace. No previous arts experience is necessary. Sessions are focused on arts and wellbeing and are different to counselling or therapy. The workshops are based in community hubs and connect with the wider social prescribing network.

This 6 weeks course is a chance to meet other women experiencing the same symptoms as yourself. It will give you an opportunity to share with each other how you're dealing with the changes that are happening to you and how you are all managing them.
I will walk you through what is happening to your body and go through why the changes in your hormones make you feeling the way you are. Once you have an understanding of what is happening with your hormones and metabolism we can then discuss a plan of action and look at some lifestyle changes you can make to take back control of your mind and body!
We will support each other as a group to feel strong enough to tackle any changes to our sleep patterns, exercise, eating, stress and many more ways we can look to improve our symptoms and how we feel. Once you understand that your body is really going through a dramatic change at a chemical level and therefore you need to change your habits to accommodate these fundamental changes then you can move into your post menopause years much more knowledgable and with a healthier approach to life!
This longer course will dive deeper each week into the chemical changes that effect our minds and bodies. It's a great follow on from the intro workshop. Covering 6 main areas of lifestyles that we can change to cope with our new menopause bodies.
Module 1 - Drinking water during menopause - why is this so essential?
Module 2 - Eating for your menopause body - a new approach to nutrition
Module 3 - `Effects of stress and metabolism during menopause - stress creates havoc to menopausal women
Module 4 - New approach to exercise for menopause bodies - a new approach to exercise
Module 5 - Menopause and insomnia - Why ? - sleep deprivation has a profound affect on our minds and bodies
Module 6 - A natural approach to menopause - talking about supplements, vitamins and minerals

Foundation for Active Community Engagement (FACE) is a registered youth & community charity based in Filton, running regular activities for people of all ages and backgrounds across the wider Bristol & South Glos areas.
Our target work is grounded within youth work, however our focus is on supporting people of all ages to improve their lives and the community around them; through better skills, knowledge, opportunities, access to wider support, and making a positive difference by being 'active' in their community.
Located in the popular Little Stoke area of South Gloucestershire, our Fairburn service offers people with a learning disability the chance to enjoy a short break away from home while receiving the high level of care that Milestones is renowned for. With a staff team focused on delivering a positive and person-centred experience for everyone staying at the service, it’s no surprise that people who come to stay once end up becoming repeat visitors.
At Fairburn, we work hard to offer people a stimulating and supportive short break that allows the continuity of everyday life to be maintained. We work in partnership with the people we support and their families to plan support that encourages development of daily living skills and offers a taste of independent living – while leaving plenty of time for activities and fun!
Importantly, our short breaks allow parents and carers to take time off from their caring role, comfortable in the knowledge that their loved one is in good hands, and with the reassurance that an update need only be a phone call – or even a quick visit - away.

Do you have an overflow of clutter and do not have the time or the energy to sort it out?
Decluttering is not about making a 'show home' but managing your belongings so that you can enjoy them in a safe, clean environment.
COLLECTING AND HOARDING: It is human nature to collect things. Belongings are part of our identity and bring much joy and happiness. Holiday mementos, photographs, ornaments, pictures, clothes, books etc. They all say something about your personality and are to be treasured. Yet when collecting takes over your home it can become a problem that causes irritation, worry and frustration.
DEALING WITH BEREAVEMENT, ILLNESS, DIVORCE OR A RELATIVES HOUSE: These are extremely emotional and difficult times. I am there to support you to reduce the workload and to achieve positive solutions and ways of moving forward.
MOVING HOUSE: Decluttering your property before putting it on the market can increase the selling price enormously and stops you importing clutter into your new home. It presents your property in the best possible light and maximises its full selling potential.
HOUSE NOT SELLING. LOW OFFERS. POOR VIEWINGS: The first time a buyer sees your property is usually online, so images need to be eye catching and enticing. Removing clutter and making use of the house doctor and maintenance/handyman service helps to attract buyers and create sales.
Decluttering and reorganising your home declutters the mind. It reduces anxiety and stress levels by making your home an inviting, pleasurable place to live in and somewhere to feel proud of. The task may seem daunting and sometimes overwhelming therefore I provide a tailor made service to suit your needs.
Free consultation.

Harmony singing is proven to be a deeply relaxing activity, which helps build strong and lasting bonds with others.
During each session we will learn how to sing better and feel better.
Everyone has a voice to share, and singing is a skill that can be learned. Sessions will include breathing exercises to support singing and relaxation, and all music will be taught by ear, at a pace to suit the group.
Singing sessions are FREE

LGBTQ+ stands for lesbian, gay, bi, trans, questioning or queer and the ‘+’ includes other diverse identities such as asexual, demigender, non-binary, pansexual, to name a few. Freedom is open to anyone questioning their sexuality or gender and is supported by a team of friendly and knowledgeable LGBTQ+ youth workers.
Here’s what’s on offer…
Group sessions are social, informative and safe supportive spaces. Sessions are filled with workshops (on topics such as housing, relationships, mental health, gender and sexuality, keeping safe and much more). Members decide the programme which always includes games, socials, trips and creative activities.
Freedom is a social and information space which provides support, advice and social opportunities for those aged between 19 and 25. Group members can gain experience in campaigning, activism, mentoring and event organising. Members lead the group and are supported by friendly and experienced youth workers.
Freedom also offers a space for one-to-one chats about what matters to you.
Upon signing up for Freedom you will be contacted with next steps, dates and times. We deliberately don’t put the dates and times on the website for Freedom for confidentiality reasons.
Contact us about LGBTQ+ 1:1 support and we’ll talk to you about availability and options to connect with the project, groups or services which fit for you.
A Registered Charity with over 30 years of experience of supporting adults with learning disabilities across Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire and B&NES
We are known for the quality of support provided to individuals in the community (including one of our community hubs), in their own home, at one of our homes (both residential and supported living) or in our safe, relaxed day centre which is next to our hydrotherapy pool.
The aim of our service is to help people become as independent as possible by helping them make choices, learn new skills and make new links in their local community.
We have over 30 years of experience; we started as a charity in 1987 and our charity status further cements our values that we firmly believe that every penny we get should be for the benefit of the people we support to ensure they have the best lives possible.
We work closely with our main landlord, Freeways Trust, and currently manage 8 residential homes all registered with CQC. These are shared homes for between 7 and 14 people across the whole area we work. Freeways Trust also rent shared houses and flats to adults with a learning disability directly and we support those individuals to manage their tenancies and reach their potential.
We liaise with other professionals to ensure we all work together to support people as individuals, helping them to have a voice and support others to listen.
We strongly believe that all people should live a life that is free from abuse and we work closely with a number of the local safeguarding adults boards to ensure the voices of people with learning disabilities are central to the work they do.
For more information about any of our services, please contact us.

Compulsive gambling is recognised as an emotional illness. As wives, husbands, partners, siblings, children or friends of compulsive gamblers we know that living with this illness can prove a devastating experience. Family relationships can become unbearably strained and the home filled with bitterness, frustration and resentment. There seems to be no way to solve our insurmountable difficulties; so much so that we are unable to think rationally at times.
If you are affected by someone else’s gambling then Gam-Anon can help! Our meetings are for anyone who has been affected by a loved one’s gambling problem. We have been where you are now. By sharing in our rooms you will find that you are not alone!
GamAnon and GA meetings are usually held on the same nights but in separate rooms. What is said in each room is kept confidential so that members in both rooms don’t need to worry about sharing their problems or concerns

Gentle Yoga is an introduction to the benefits of learning to relax and energise with Yoga. Specially designed for people with ME/CFS. For anyone confined to bed. For use after an operation. Suitable for anyone wanting to work extremely gently. For use on the not so good low energy days.
It begins with your breath, learning the fundamentals of breath control-learning the power of correct breathing. If you learn how to control your breath, you can influence how you feel emotionally and physically. Deeper and smoother breathing slows your heartbeat, reduces the flow of adrenalin and increases the flow of endorphinns, your body's natural tranquilliser. Yoga means 'union' or balance', it works on the physical body, the mind and the emotions. The programme can be done lying on a bed or the floor. It will target what you can do rather than what you can't. Listen to your body, work at your own pace. Fees: Contact for details

The Golden-Oldies Charity, more fondly referred to as ‘Goldies’, was founded by Bath-based musician Grenville Jones in 2007. For many years Grenville had built a reputation as one of the UK’s foremost choir leaders and had learnt first-hand of the positive social effects of singing in a choir or a music group.
“I wanted to grab the atmosphere of fun and friendship and bring it to older isolated people through daytime ‘singalongs’ of the memory-evoking hits of the 60s and onwards.”
Grenville himself took the first four sessions in and around Bath and Bristol in 2008 and is always quick to point out that his Charity is NOT about choir singing.
“Goldies gives older isolated people something to look forward to, a chance to get out, make new friends and singalong to those popular hits of the past.”
From small beginnings, and with Sir Cliff Richard as Patron, the work of the Charity has grown across England and Wales (Goldies Cymru) and, prior to Lockdown, in March 2020 there were over 200 daytime fun singalong Goldies sessions. These sessions took place in Libraries, community rooms and Church halls and were led by dedicated session leaders from various backgrounds, all with one thing in common – they shared the common view that singing together made you feel better and always brought a smile!
Those attending the sessions were older people living in community housing, adults with learning difficulties and people living with dementia – everyone is welcome at a Goldies session.
Over the years the Charity has received considerable support from many philanthropic Trusts, Local Authorities, Organisations and the National Lottery in both England and Wales. There has also been considerable media coverage of Goldies over the years and, most recently, the popular ITV soap Emmerdale featured Goldies during its commercial breaks. This was made possible with the support of the People’s Postcode Lottery Community Fund.
Academic studies have also endorsed the benefits that the Golden-Oldies Charity brings to older people – these can be accessed through the website.
Goldies has also worked with Primary Schools in recent years with support from the Lottery Heritage Fund and in 2018 received the accolade of winning the Education Category of the National Lottery Awards – a project based on the music of the First World War! the award being presented to Grenville by Katherine Jenkins.
Forced by Covid to close all sessions, Goldies looked to the internet, Facebook and YouTube to bring its fun sessions to people in their homes. Popular Wales-based leaders Rachel Parry and Cheryl Davies lead the twice-weekly sessions under the www.goldieslive.com banner, with people joining from their homes across the United Kingdom. As the country emerges from Lockdown plans are in place to reintroduce the Goldies sessions that were forced to close and also to introduce more sessions in both England and Wales. This will be in partnership with the many organisations and community groups with whom a close working relationship has been forged in recent years.
Join your local Goldies Sing&Smile session in Bristol and South Gloucestershire.
Goldies sessions are fun daytime social groups where people come together to sing-along to the popular hits of the 50s onwards, chat and laugh along with friends, stretch and sometimes dance. You don't have to be able to sing, just love music and socialising. Goldies groups are open to all but particularly aim to combat isolation with older adults. We ask for a £2 donation to attend a session.

The Goldies Charity are well known and loved for our daytime Sing&Smile sessions across Bristol and South Gloucestershire, fun social groups where people come together to sing-a-long to the popular hits of the 50s onwards, chat and laugh along with friends. These monthly sessions, alongside intergenerational activities, Age Awareness days, concerts and festive celebrations are open to everyone, but in particular aim to combat isolation with older and often vulnerable people, building stronger communities and supportive relationships.
The COVID-19 pandemic has meant the temporary closure of all our Sing&Smile sessions for the foreseeable future. Goldies has adapted quickly with the launch of our first ever digital service - GoldiesLive - fun, free online sing-a-long sessions every Tuesday and Thursday at 11.00am, or watch at your leisure.

Its aims are to provide advice, guidance and support for the hearing aid users in the community.
Volunteers are trained by the Audiology Department at Southmead Hospital in many aspects of hearing impairment including medical aspects of hearing loss, psychological implications, practical management of hearing aids, communication tactics and knowledge of local and national organisations concerned with the hearing impaired.
The volunteers, most of whom are experienced hearing aid users, encourage people coping with hearing aids for the first time, reinforcing the guidance given by Audiologists. They are also trained to perform hearing aid maintenance for those who are unable to visit the NHS Audiology Department. The scheme does not replace their service, but enhances the support given.
If you live in Bristol, South Gloucestershire or North Somerset and need help with your hearing aids, the best option is to contact your hearing aid provider. If you, or someone you care for, is/are housebound and in need of help with NHS hearing aid/s, please get in contact with us via the Audiology department.

Hillfields is an area in Fishponds, Bristol.
Walks meet either in the Fishponds area or occasionally in Bristol City Centre. Walks are on various mornings of the week and roughly every 10 days.
Walks are generally between 2 and 3 miles long (1 - 1.5 hours) with a visit to a cafe at the end or somewhere on route.
Most walks use a bus to get to the walk start so the meeting point is often at ,or near, a bus stop.
Please see our scheme page for our contact information, and more details on our walks.
Fire safety in your home
By making a few simple changes you can reduce the risk of fire happening in your home, and we provide advice and information on our website to help you do this. You can also download a copy of our Fire Safety in the Home Booklet, and use the Home Fire Safety Checklist.
Home Fire Safety Visits
Through our targeted prevention work we provide further support to the most vulnerable members of our community, ie those who may be more at risk of having a fire in their home and therefore need us most. In these cases we may carry out a free Home Fire Safety Visit. This is a free pre-arranged visit to your home to carry out a fire safety assessment and provide you with advice on how to stay safe from fire, including:
If we find you need smoke alarms fitting in your home or that existing faulty alarms need replacing, we will do this free of charge during our visit. For those who are deaf or hard of hearing there are special smoke alarms with a flashing light and pillow vibrator pads. There may also be other help we can offer specific to your circumstances, such as additional fire safety equipment or referring you (with consent) to an organisation or agency that may be able to offer you further support.
The visit is free and will last approximately 45 minutes depending on your circumstances, and our staff will be able to answer any questions you may have.
Are you eligible for a Home Fire Safety Visit?
We assess all requests to ensure we meet the needs of those who are most vulnerable and where we know there is an increased risk of fire, such as those who:

We also have outreach teams who actively go out into the community to seek homeless patients who may need our help.
The Compass Centre is run by St Mungo’s and provides access to the GP service, mental health support workers, a café run by homeless people, access to IT as well as shower facilities.
Patients can drop in for appointments with either a GP or a nurse every day.
The Homeless Health Service also runs SMART (Supervised Methadone and Resettlement Team) Clinics. This is a service for homeless people who are opiate dependent and have a history of sleeping rough. We will offer a two year programme backed by counselling and support. The Homeless Health Service will be working with Second Step to provide Health Link workers. The Health Link team provides specialist advice and guidance for homeless people seeking health related services. With the aim of championing the needs of homeless people, the team gives sensitive support and promotes a client’s healthcare rights to help engagement and to tailor care to suit the individual.
Once a client has engaged with the service, Health Link assesses specific needs and can then liaise with outreach teams or refer to other health, housing and support agencies to ensure stability and continuity of care for recovery.
Although the health care needs are mainly delivered from the Compass Centre, the service has a number of outreach opportunities working with other agencies in Bristol.
Our GPs will provide a weekly “Wet Clinic” based in the Wild Goose Café in Stapleton Road, Easton.
The Wild Goose Café provides about 500 meals a day for people aged 18+ with addiction problems, homeless people, long term unemployed people and people with mental health problems.
The Wet Clinic offers access to a GP for people with alcohol addiction, enabling people to find help when still under the influence of alcohol. The clinic is supported by support workers from St Mungo’s so that people can access advice from support workers as well as from the GP.
The Homeless Health Service will be working with One25 who reach out to women trapped in, or vulnerable to, street sex work, supporting them to break free and build new lives away from violence, poverty and addiction. The multi agency outreach team also give emergency help in a crisis, for example when a woman has been attacked.
A nurse drop in surgery is provided at St Mungo’s, Longhills (Stokes Croft). This is an accommodation centre for single homeless people with complex needs, including ex-offenders, people with mental health or drug/alcohol issues. The Homeless Service works with Bristol Drug Project providing a nurse drop-in surgery and van outreach.

If your concern is about a service provided by an NHS Trust (hospitals, mental health services, community health services and ambulance services) you can contact their Patient Advice & Liaison Service (PALS). PALS (which may also be known as Patient Experience or Service Experience services) can help you resolve your concerns quickly and without having to make a formal complaint. If you are still unhappy after that, or if your concern is about something that has already happened you may want to make a complaint and we are here to help.
You can use the complaints process to complain about any NHS funded treatment including care provided by NHS hospitals, GPs, pharmacies, ambulance services, dentists, district nurses, opticians and mental health services. If the NHS paid for treatment at a private hospital or pays all or part of someone’s care home fees this is also covered by the NHS complaints process.
You can complain about your own care and treatment or someone else’s but you may need to get their consent before the NHS will investigate.
If you have done everything you can to resolve your complaint with the local service and you are not happy with their final decision you can contact the Parliamentary & Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO). This is the final stage of the NHS Complaints Process.
If you are not sure whether to make a complaint you can contact us. We will listen and help you decide whether there are other ways of sorting out your concerns. We can also answer questions about the complaints process.
If you want to make your own complaint but are not sure where to start, you can download our self-help materials from our website.

An IMCA is an advocate who has been specially trained to support people who are not able to make certain decisions for themselves and do not have family or friends who are able to speak for them. IMCAs do not make decisions and they are independent of the people who do make the decisions.
An IMCA can support anyone who is over 16 years old and who has been assessed as ‘lacking capacity’. This means they are not able to make or understand a particular decision about their life because the way their mind or brain works has been affected by an illness, an injury or a disability. They must have been assessed by a doctor or a social worker at the time the particular decision needs to be made. The person might have dementia, learning disabilities, mental health problems, a brain injury or they might have had a stroke. A lack of capacity can be temporary such as when someone has been in an accident and is unconscious.
An IMCA can be instructed (asked to represent a person) when a decision needs to be made about:
It should also be considered whether it would be helpful for an IMCA to be instructed for two other issues:
POhWER’s IMCAs find out as much as possible about the views and beliefs of the person referred to them. They have the right to meet the person privately and to see their health and care records. An IMCA considers all relevant information about the person then writes a report to help decision-makers reach decisions which are in the best interests of the person. Sometimes they might look at options which were not suggested by the professional or ask for a second medical opinion. An IMCA has the right to challenge any decision made.
The Court of Protection is a special court which looks at cases about people who lack capacity to make decisions. If a very serious decision needs to be made it might be sent to the Court of Protection. The court makes decisions and appoints people called deputies who can act for someone who is not able to make decisions about their personal health, finance or welfare.

It really is the menopause, honestly, you're not going mad! you're not imagining it, this is happening. It's happening and 85% of women aged 45-55 in the uk experience symptoms, your not alone....
The workshop is a chance to meet other women experiencing the same symptoms as yourself. It will give you an opportunity to share with each other how you're dealing with the changes that are happening to you and how you are all managing them.
I will walk you through what is happening to your body and go through why the changes in your hormones make you feeling the way you are. Once you have an understanding of what is happening with your hormones and metabolism we can then discuss a plan of action and look at some lifestyle changes you can make to take back control of your mind and body!
We will support each other as a group to feel strong enough to tackle any changes to our sleep patterns, exercise, eating, stress and many more ways we can look to improve our symptoms and how we feel.
Once you understand that your body is really going through a dramatic change at a chemical level and therefore you need to change your habits to accommodate these fundamental changes then you can move into your post menopause years much more knowledgable and with a healthier approach to life!

One of the big difficulties researchers face today is recruiting participants for their studies. At the same time, many people are looking for studies to contribute to and take part in, but don't know where to find out about them.
This is why the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) in partnership with Alzheimer Scotland, Alzheimer's Research UK and Alzheimer's Society have developed Join Dementia Research, a service which allows people to register their interest in participating in dementia research and be matched to suitable studies.
Everybody now has that chance to see what dementia research is taking place, both in their local area and across the nation.
The service delivers new opportunities for people to play their part in beating dementia; connecting researchers with people who want to participate in studies.

The partnership is a group of people that discuss the best ways to keep Bristol safe. They look at keeping children safe, keeping adults safe, and how to protect whole communities. The Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership started in June 2019 and officially came together in September 2019 because changes were needed to the way Bristol worked before.
New laws made by the government say that the main members need to be from Bristol City Council, BNSSG Clinical commissioning group, and Avon and Somerset Constabulary. The group is also made up of members from other groups that work directly in the community. These would include people from health, education and what’s known as the voluntary sector, which are organisations working in the community that sometimes are given money from charities and sometimes from Bristol City Council.
The Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership is led by Ivan Powell. He is known as the Chair of Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership and is there to check that work is completed and if there are things that could have been done better. He keeps everyone focused on their work to achieve the main goal at the end.
Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership has set priorities. Priorities are similar to goals that they set so that they can help people in Bristol to feel safer, which KBSP achieve by completing work. The work is carried out by these three groups; Keeping Children Safe; Keeping Adults Safe; Keeping Communities Safe. These are then split into smaller groups called sub-groups, and task and finish groups.
Do NOT contact the KBSP with individual safeguarding or safety concerns. If you have concerns that anyone (child or adult) is at risk of immediate harm call 999. If it is not an emergency but you still need help call 101.

The partnership is a group of people that discuss the best ways to keep Bristol safe. They look at keeping children safe, keeping adults safe, and how to protect whole communities. The Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership started in June 2019 and officially came together in September 2019 because changes were needed to the way Bristol worked before.\n\nNew laws made by the government say that the main members need to be from Bristol City Council, BNSSG Clinical commissioning group, and Avon and Somerset Constabulary. The group is also made up of members from other groups that work directly in the community. These would include people from health, education and what’s known as the voluntary sector, which are organisations working in the community that sometimes are given money from charities and sometimes from Bristol City Council.\n\nThe Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership is led by Ivan Powell. He is known as the Chair of Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership and is there to check that work is completed and if there are things that could have been done better. He keeps everyone focused on their work to achieve the main goal at the end.\n\nKeeping Bristol Safe Partnership has set priorities. Priorities are similar to goals that they set so that they can help people in Bristol to feel safer, which KBSP achieve by completing work. The work is carried out by these three groups; Keeping Children Safe; Keeping Adults Safe; Keeping Communities Safe. These are then split into smaller groups called sub-groups, and task and finish groups.", "url": "https://bristolsafeguarding.org/about-us/what-we-do/", "logo": "", "uri": "" }, "pc_metadata": { "date_created": "2020-06-05", "date_modified": "2022-12-14", "date_assured": "2022-12-14", "assured_by": "sadiematthews@thecareforum.org.uk" }, "pc_targetAudience": [] }, { "id": "fcb2a4d0-ea37-c4b3-26bf-1332b31ced8a", "name": "Kelly's Domestic Diamonds", "description": "\"Kellys Domestic Diamonds is a local, family run business.

In October 2014, the Ministry of Justice transferred responsibility for commissioning local victim services in Avon and Somerset to the local Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC). This led to the complete review of the way that victim and witness services were provided. To prepare for change this the Office of the PCC’s Commissioning Team worked with Avon and Somerset Constabulary to establish an Integrated Victim Board.
The aim of the Board was to expand on the finding of existing research, regarding the ‘victims’ journey’ through the criminal justice system. The Board began consulting with partners and service providers to explore what services people wanted and identify gaps in current provision. Local victims were also surveyed to establish their needs, experiences of victim contact and suggestions for how the service should be shaped.
After 18 months of research and planning, in October 2014, Lighthouse Integrated Victim and Witness Care went live, as a brand new department within Avon and Somerset Constabulary. Lighthouse offers an enhanced service to vulnerable, intimated or persistently targeted victims of crime and anti-social behaviour, and victims of serious crime. To find out more about that this means and who is classed as an enhanced victim take a look at: Victim Code of Practice
If you are currently receiving support from Lighthouse and have misplaced the contact details of your allocated Victim and Witness Care Officer you can contact us via 101.

If practiced with consistency, Pilates improves flexibility, builds strength and develops control over the whole body. The emphasis is on alignment, breathing, developing a strong 'powerhouse' (your abdomen, lower back and pelvis) along with improving posture, balance and coordination. Also, with regular Pilates sessions the benefits will include a toned and lean body. It increases body awareness, creates strength, endurance and flexibility, resulting in a sense of relaxation and well-being.

At Luv2meetU, we know it can be difficult to meet new friends and get out and about. Luv2meetU organises activities and events within the community which members can attend, through which they can meet new people, develop friendship networks and gain confidence in accessing the community.
Events: We try to organise the events which our members tell us they want, so there’s always something different to try. Examples of events might be: theatre, cinema, bowling, sports, walks, club nights, karaoke, gaming, meals out, cafes, picnics, workshops, shopping and day trips. There are approximately 10-12 events/activities each month for members to choose from.
Dating: If interested in dating and relationships, members can be matched up with other members based upon their interests, or can request dates with other members who they meet through our events. If both members want to meet up then we set up a date based upon what they would like to do. All first dates are chaperoned by a trained member of staff or volunteers. Luv2meetU make follow-up calls after each first date to see how things have gone. Luv2meetU will also sometimes run singles events or speed dating as requested.
Costs: Members pay £10 per month membership fee. This will include access to our online events, receiving an events flyer every month and support from Luv2meetU. Attending face-to-face events are charged on a pay-as-you-go basis so that members will only pay for the events which they attend. Luv2meetU charges £5 per hour for each event e.g. a one-hour cafe meet-up would cost £5, where a 3-hour cinema event would cost £15. Members will pay for their own costs at an event or activity (e.g. food, drinks, transport, cinema tickets etc.). There will be a £5 charge for dates. Luv2meetU is a Community Interest Company and all fees are used to pay for our running costs.

Making Space has been developed with the aim of providing practical and emotional support to adults who acquire an excessive number of items which they store in a chaotic manner and have difficulties discarding of; behaviours more commonly known as 'hoarding'. The project aims to support clients to reach their individual goals, increase mental wellbeing and help make the home safer and more suitable for their needs. Making space offers an empathetic and supportive environment to people living with hoarding tendencies, and aspires to empower individuals to sustainably 'make space' not only in their home, but also their life and mind; increasing the confidence, wellbeing and self-efficacy of those we support. This is an approach that is proven to be successful and far more effective than other alternatives such as, where applicable, statutory or landlord intervention. The project is currently offered 'free of charge' and is led by trained volunteers across Bath & north East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. At this time we only support home owners and private tenants. Due to the high demand we cannot support individuals with either complex or low level hoarding tendencies.

Maples Community Care Ltd Maples provide high quality supported accommodation for adults aged 18 to 55 with moderate to severe mental health and learning disabilities in Bristol and South Gloucestershire. Our aim is to help our clients to develop practical living and social skills, and confidence, in a supportive and caring environment. We promote self-determination in order to prevent service users from becoming institutionalised and over-dependent. Our ultimate objective is to encourage and enable clients to move on and live completely independent lives in the community when they are ready and likely to succeed. We help all clients to develop their own person-centered support plans which have clearly stated objectives and outcomes and are regularly assessed and updated to ensure the support we provide is appropriate to their needs. Maples provide an extensive range of supported accommodation throughout Bristol and South Gloucestershire in shared houses for up to six people or self-contained flats for those who require less support, or as a move-on opportunity as clients progress through our service.

We do this through a 4-stage process:\n\n1. Identify lonely people through an established referral network.\n2. Actively raise awareness about loneliness to reduce the stigma, encourage people who experience it to come forward and influence positive action to alleviate it. We have launched the UK’s first Loneliness Awareness Week.\n3. Support those isolated in our region to attend our Christmas Day event, to reacquaint them with socialising/making friends.\n4. Run friendship projects that include one to one support to help them build confidence and make their own friends, join clubs and generally reach out to the community.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we do\nWe offer a vital link between lonely people and the communities and resources that can help them. We have two bi-annual events: our Christmas Day Lunch and Loneliness Awareness Week, which is held in June. We are also currently trialling our first Buddy Scheme, which connects volunteers with people experiencing loneliness. We raise awareness of loneliness all year round to help people to reach out and make positive changes within their own\nlives and communities.\n\nIn a nutshell:\nWHAT: We recognise and raise awareness of loneliness\nHOW: We support and signpost people to new resources and communities\nWHY: To empower people to make new friendships and connections\nOur Values\nWe are a predominantly volunteer led organisation, and each member of our ‘family’ supports and embodies our core set of values:\n\nEveryone associated with Marmalade Trust will, through their behaviours and communications, demonstrate integrity, respect and understanding and a commitment and enthusiasm to challenging loneliness.\nWe are collectively determined to reduce the stigma of loneliness, so that no one is ashamed to say they are lonely.\nWe are inclusive, supportive and value community connections.\nWe do not discriminate on any basis.\nWe are committed to building a sustainable organisation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Manifesto\nWe see ourselves as the friendly face of loneliness and we believe in the power of the everyday person. We have a positive and proactive approach to loneliness and we want to normalise the conversation around it. There is nothing wrong with feeling lonely: it’s just a lack of social connections. We aim to lose the stigma around loneliness and rather than seeing it as a negative, shameful or hopeless thing, we want to educate people to see loneliness as a blank canvas on which they can fill their lives with new friends and experiences. We all feel lonely at some point but the good news is that it is entirely fixable. We are committed to changing the language of loneliness to make it a conversation about connections instead.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n", "url": "https://marmaladetrust.org/", "email": "info@marmaladetrust.org", "status": "active", "fees": "", "accreditations": "", "deliverable_type": "", "attending_type": "", "attending_access": "", "pc_attendingAccess_additionalInfo": "", "assured_date": "2020-06-05", "organization": { "id": "d3c467bd-045e-4461-8223-4e9f1840df6b", "name": "Marmalade Trust", "description": "Marmalade Trust\nMarmalade Trust", "url": "https://marmaladetrust.org/", "logo": "", "uri": "" }, "pc_metadata": { "date_created": "2020-06-05", "date_modified": "2020-06-05", "date_assured": "2020-06-05", "assured_by": "test@bristol.openplace.directory" }, "pc_targetAudience": [] }, { "id": "5dea6c9e-08bb-b809-a7eb-ebc511336b33", "name": "Marshal and Stocker Chiropody", "description": "JIM MARSHALL AND STEPHANIE STOCKER HAVE BEEN BRISTOL CHIROPODISTS SINCE OBTAINING THEIR DEGREES IN PODIATRIC MEDICINE 1993 AND ARE HCPC REGISTERED AND MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF PODIATRY.

· Carers: Find Meals on Wheels services for the adults you care for.
· Healthcare, social care, and social work professionals: Easily find Meals on Wheels services to refer adults to.

Origins and History of Men’s Aid
Formed in 2006 to help provide practical advice and support to men who have been abused, Men’s Aid has grown to represent the views of many individuals both male and female and is committed to helping those who have suffered from bias in the legal system, Family Courts or any other areas. Men’s Aid strives to remove bias and prejudice from all parts of our Society and focuses on providing help and assistance to anyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, who may need it, but in particular males.
A Gender Inclusive Organisation
Over many years Men’s Aid has undertaken an active Campaign for Equality within our Society to help re-balance many stereotypical views, particularly those held about men. These, often negative views, include male issues relating to parenting, fatherhood, domestic abuse and violence. Government now recognise that abuse can occur in any personal relationship, or any situation where a service is being given, including formal or informal caregivers, or by a person who has power or influence over the life of a dependent adult. Domestic Violence and Abuse is now recognised as a gender neutral issue by many organisations, with violence and abuse against men identified as the ‘last taboo’ which needs to be urgently addressed.
Men’s Aid Charity
Also works in partnership with other organisations to promote and raise awareness of other issues relating to men’s welfare in general. Men’s Aid is active and concerned with the levels of homelessness, suicide, false allegations of domestic abuse and sexual offences, Family Law, PTSD and mental health issues, and the general wellbeing of any concern which relates to men, their families and children.
Working with Families and Children
Within the arena of Family Court the charity provides information and advice to all parents who are seeking to maintain a meaningful and responsible relationship with their children after family break down or divorce. We aim to assist these parents in their endeavours to achieve equal and just treatment in the Family Courts and from their associated services. We recognise the value of good parenting and support parents who work together for and in the best interests of their children.
Constitution and Objectives
1. To relieve the hardship, distress and suffering of male victims (and their families) of domestic abuse in such ways as the charity shall decide from time to time.
2. The protection and preservation of men’s health (both physical and mental) in such ways as the trustees thinks fit and lawful.
3. To advance the education of the public in matters relating to domestic abuse in order to raise awareness of the the needs of abuse victims and to undertake whenever necessary the prevention and discrimination against males on the grounds of sex so far as such discrimination is unlawful.

Those connected to self-compassion demonstrate an increased ability to self-soothe and the intention to focus on feelings of warmth and reassurance towards the self during difficult times.
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion.
While mindfulness increases our awareness of the present, self-compassion encourages greater kindness and understanding during periods of suffering. It also helps us accept our flaws and better understand our challenges.
During this empirically supported program, participants will learn to: motivate themselves with kindness rather than criticism, develop skills of self-compassion to manage difficult emotions, transform challenging relationships and foster goodwill and practice the art of savouring and self-appreciation.

Mindfulness can help you develop a wiser, more kindly way to manage the challenges of living with cancer, so that you can be more fully present in your life as it unfolds from day to day.
Our tutors are experienced in supporting people living with cancer. You'll learn a range of mindfulness meditation, gentle movement and daily living exercises, as well as receive materials to practice at home. Our courses are delivered online, via Zoom.
The courses include an optional online whole day retreat so that you can immerse yourself fully in mindfulness practice in a safe and peaceful environment.
Who should attend?
Anybody who has been diagnosed and is living with cancer, or who is supporting a friend or family member. There will be a short assessment call with the tutor before the course which will also give you the opportunity to ask any questions.
We wouldn't recommend the course at this time if you are experiencing severe, overwhelming distress, or side-effects of treatment which could affect your ability to attend regularly.

We have four weekly support groups (Bedminster, Barton Hill, Hartcliffe and Staple Hill). Our support groups provide a safe place for you to come and talk about how you feel with others who understand, gain support and make social connections. Our groups provide much needed support to women and can improve the lives of the children who attend. The opportunity to attend a group where you feel welcome, safe, understood and able to connect with other women having similar experiences helps promote a more rapid recovery from illness. At the weekly groups, we have support workers who can talk on a one-to-one basis with you, offering support, information and advice. There are also opportunities to access therapies or activities such as crafting. Our play worker engages children in activities such as arts and crafts and we have a wide variety of toys. Our groups offer you the opportunity to make supportive friendships and give your children the opportunity to socialise.

How we may be coping…
Having a baby, whether it’s the first or the fifth, fundamentally changes our lives; our sense of identity, bodies, relationships and lifestyle. This process of change and finding a new normal, is full of wonderful and challenging moments. For some however, this conflict and change, alongside perhaps life stresses or distressing experiences can pose barriers to adjusting and tolerating difficult feelings such as anxiety, loss and isolation etc.
Why we may wish to think about accessing therapy…
If you feel that your mental health is impacting on your enjoyment of relationships, bonding with your baby/children, personality, and everyday activities or interests, you may wish to seek some support. Speaking with a psychotherapist or counsellor in a safe, non-judgemental environment can enable us to develop clearer understanding of and abilities to cope with difficult feelings. Many families have benefitted and made meaningful changes in their lives as a result of utilising the therapeutic services at Mothers for Mothers.
What’s on offer:
All of our therapies are:
We have for group events a year. Two trips to local family attractions and two parties. These events provide an opportunity to build your social circle outside the group you attend and give all the children a wonderful fun day. This can help self-esteem and build confidence, being away from home with the safety of our support and the support of our play workers.
The women attending the groups decide on the location, usually a local attraction such as Avon Valley Country Park, Bristol Zoo and We the Curious. Our trips take place during school holidays and of course we welcome older siblings to join in. Transport is also provided.

Art Psychotherapy is a talking therapy in which the art making is used as a key tool for expressing and making sense of feelings. It can help support clients to take ownership of their experiences and change in their view of current challenges they may face. The art psychotherapists offer clients non-judgemental and compassionate support through the process. Some clients can feel nervous about using the art materials, perhaps because they aren’t familiar with them or fear that they are not good enough, however many find that they build in confidence and enjoyment using the materials and some continue using these new skills after the therapy has ended.
Counselling is a talking therapy that involves a counsellor listening to and supporting a client whilst helping them find ways to deal with personal issues. Clients are encouraged to talk about their thoughts and feelings with the counsellor, who will listen and support without judgement or criticism. Talking to a counsellor can help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and thought processes and help you find solutions to your problems.
If you are interested in accessing or referring someone to therapy at Mothers for Mothers, please email Chloë Spindlove our Lead Art Psychotherapist and Therapies Coordinator and she will get back to you ASAP to answer any questions, think about needs, and book an initial informal meeting.

Tuesdays 4 – 5.30pm
We’re really excited to introduce a new type of class here at BALPA. As you know, we’re passionate about getting people moving and making new friendships. Intergenerational Movement Classes (known as Move Together) start this September in partnership with Age UK South Gloucestershire. This is a 45-minute fun and interactive class, which involves drama and movement aimed at bringing different generations together. There will then be a further 45 minutes social time with hot and cold drinks, cakes and biscuits afterwards.
Each family or child who joins the classes will be paired with an older person, with the aim of building friendships and connections. We all know how good movement is for our mental and physical health, but research has also shown that intergenerational classes help both older and younger generations. This is for children aged 4 – 8 and residents of our local community aged 50+. A voluntary donation will be given on entrance.

Specialist Nordic walking poles will be provided and you can continue to borrow the poles once the course is over. You will receive a Nordic walking achievement certificate on completion.

Our foodbank is a project founded by Ebenezer Church and Filton Community Church, working together towards stopping hunger in our local area. It grew further since the launch in August 2012 to have five foodbank outlets across North Bristol and South Gloucestershire. In September 2019 Yate and Chipping Sodbury Foodbank merged with North Bristol Foodbank. The three outlets that were part of Yate and Chipping Sodbury Foodbank are now part of North Bristol Foodbank taking the total number of outlets to eight. This move has further improved the foodbank coverage over North Bristol and South Gloucestershire
North Bristol Foodbank covers Horfield, Lockleaze, Southmead, Filton, Patchway, Yate, Thornbury, Mangotsfield, Redcliffe and Stokes Croft
The Resound Mangotsfield Foodbank is also part of the North Bristol foodbank
Every day people in the UK go hungry for reasons ranging from redundancy to receiving an unexpected bill on a low income. A simple box of food makes a big difference, with foodbanks helping prevent crime, housing loss, family breakdown and mental health problems.
Schools, churches, businesses and individuals donate non-perishable, in-date food to a foodbank. Large collections often take place as part of Harvest Festival celebrations and food is also collected at supermarkets.
Volunteers sort food to check that it’s in date and pack it into boxes ready to be given to people in need. Over 40,000 people give up their time to volunteer at foodbanks.
Foodbanks partner with a wide range of care professionals such as doctors, health visitors, social workers and police to identify people in crisis and issue them with a foodbank voucher.
Foodbank clients bring their voucher to a foodbank centre where it can be redeemed for three days’ emergency food. Volunteers meet clients over a warm drink or free hot meal and are able to signpost people to agencies able to solve the longer-term problem.

• Learning new songs
• Music appreciation
• Improvisations
• Conducting exercises

A service designed specifically to help older people who may be: isolated, unwell, disabled or vulnerable individuals with learning difficulties, or with a long term or terminal illness from all cultures, religions or social backgrounds to help improve their quality of life and reduce isolation.
The service aims to give people the opportunity to become more active, including; access to learning, education, training or to attend social activities. Typical journeys include; attending their local church or place of worship; social events; shopping; hospital appointments but all journeys are considered.
The service is based in Bristol and provides transport across South West England, South Gloucestershire, South Wales, Gloucestershire and West Wiltshire and surrounding counties.
Our aims are to provide a financially, as well as physically, accessible service to our members who want to get out and about, doing things they otherwise would not do because of transport issues.
We want to help to reduce isolation for individuals who otherwise would not go out or attend things they enjoy which in turn will contribute to an improved health and wellbeing.

Pucklechurch and Shortwood Good Neighbour Scheme The scheme is designed to provide contact and support to vulnerable members of our community. The scheme does not act as an alternative to services already provided by other public bodies/services. We will assist with tasks like putting bins out, changing batteries in smoke alarms, help with form filling, gardening and spending time with someone. This is not an exhaustive list and we will consider any request.

Dehoarding South West CIC now has a team of dehoarding practitioners and clearance operatives based in Bristol to cover the city and surrounding region of the South West, such as South Gloucestershire areas and North Somerset. Our goal is to support referred hoarding customers to move on from their current hoarding position to Level 3 in the widely used Clutter Image Rating (CIR). We also offer quick interventions for hospital discharge to clear and prepare key rooms for safe return home.
Every referred hoarding customer is unique. We will work with the referring agency and the person hoarding to give:
a tailored approach to tackling the extreme clutter or hoard
a dedicated team of two dehoarding practitioners assigned to each case, providing continuity and sustained weekly interventions
psychological support by our staff (NOT just clearing out) to build professional rapport and trust
optional 3 months intervention at the conclusion of the case to monitor and support the client
Access to our regional Hoarding Support Group - free, informal and relaxed, offered to those who hoard, friends and family to talk, learn and support each other.
Contact us for details of any face-2-face or online groups we may be running across, Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset
For illustration purposes the average cost of the most recent 10 hoarding cases we have dealt with (to March 2022) is just under £4000; comprising (in general) 3 hours per week, person centered support to make safe, organise and sort possessions over a four month time frame and removal of excess items from property.
(To put this cost into context, the additional average cost of a hoarded property to a housing provider is in excess of £40,000)

Family and friends play a massive role in helping people recover from severe mental illness, and whether or not you think of yourself as a 'carer', we can offer different kinds of support to meet each individual situation. This may be a phone conversation, attending an educational course or joining a support group. We believe you should be acknowledged, valued and supported - we can help you find out about your rights, encourage you to take care of your own mental health and connect with others in a similar position. We are flexible and we know that circumstances can change from one day to the next.
Rethink Mental Illness is a national organisation which works to help everyone affected by severe mental illness recover a better quality of life and locally we are funded by Bristol City Council – so our services are free. We offer various things, as everyone’s situation is different, including:
Individual support The first step is usually to speak on the phone so we can understand your individual situation. After that, we can offer regular follow up appointments, or you can just make one when you feel you need one.
Support groups We co-facilitate support groups for family and friends of people with mental health issues as well as more specialised carers groups for siblings, Borderline Personality Disorder and secure services.
Learn and Share Our online workshops are an opportunity to prepare yourself with information, guidance and connect with each other. Topics we have covered in 2020 include creating boundaries, communicating with someone experiencing symptoms, motivation, and how to support recovery. We develop the content ourselves, in collaboration with local mental health professionals.
Regular info We can send you our newsletter and info about mental health in and beyond Bristol by email or post. Ask us to add you to our list, and unsubscribe when you want.
Taking a break You may be able to ignore your own needs in a crisis, but in order to help someone recover from mental illness, you need to stay healthy yourself. Simply lowering your stress levels can be a key. If you have an idea of something that will make a difference to you, like a gym membership or a short break away, ask us about a ‘carers assessment’.
Mental Health Advice Rethink Mental Illness Advice Service has factsheets on topics like the Mental Health Act, community care, welfare benefits, criminal justice and carers rights. You can also email or phone them to ask for specific advice: 0300 5000 927.

Ride Out Ride On - RORO for short - is an inclusive and adaptable cycle service for adults and children. Based in Bristol.
RORO’s aim is to bring the joy and freedom of cycling to those who, through mobility-impacting factors, such as disability or long term health conditions, would otherwise be unable to go out for a ride.
For many clients, cycling has always played an important part in their identities, or their means of getting exercise, and part of RORO’s mission is to help people who, for whatever reason, have lost their ability or the desire to ride to re-find the love of cycling, and re-introduce it to their lives. For others, the prospect of riding a bike, and the confidence, strength and wide-eyed enjoyment it can bring, may be a new prospect. In either case, RORO’s cycle outreach service is about bringing riding to those who would otherwise be unable to ride themselves – and to open up for them all the life-giving, life-affirming benefits cycling can bring.
Every Monday evening we host role playing sessions such as Dungeons and Dragons.
Everyone welcome. Come along and either watch or join in and make new friends. Free tea and snacks provided.

The Scheme is open to anyone who has communication difficulties, such as dementia or a learning disability and frequents or resides in the Avon and Somerset force area. The Safe Places Scheme has no age limit.
When someone joins Safe Places they are given a card and key fob which has a dedicated telephone number and a unique reference number on.
If a person has been a victim of crime, is lost, feels scared or upset and doesn’t know what to do, they can call the Safe Places number.
They can use the dedicated telephone number to contact the police control room directly. They will be asked for their reference number to help the police identify them when they call.
They can also visit a Safe Places building for help. All police stations with enquiry offices are Safe Places and in the near future, some council offices will also be included. Find your nearest police station.

We are open for volunteering and visits on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 1-4pm. We hope all ages and abilities can get involved with the garden tasks, and if you come along you are welcome to take a share of the produce that we pick that day. We always leave plenty of time for chat, so bring along a drink and join in. Occasionally we might be shut for poor weather or lack of volunteer leaders so do check if it's the first time you are coming.
We love visitors when we are open who just want to enjoy the surroundings and the chat. All ages are welcome to these sessions and we are always very happy to get out toys for our digging bed and mud kitchen. Our young families session on a Monday mornings is lots of fun and very popular, and currently has a waiting list.

Are you an adult needing extra support? Are you looking for an arrangement that supports you to live as independently as possible whilst living in a home environment? Then Shared Lives could be for you.
What is Shared Lives?
Shared Lives is for adults who need a little extra support and wants to live in a family home environment, it’s a bit like foster care - but for adults. ategi carefully match you with one of our Shared Lives carers, who share their home and family, supporting you to develop your skills, work towards your goals and support you to be more independent. You could spend the day, stay for a short break, or move–in - it’s completely flexible to your needs.
It is a great way to have flexible support that is about you – ategi is careful to match individuals and Shared Lives carer who get along and have shared interests, and importantly, a shared sense of humour!
Shared Lives is a fantastic alternative to other forms of care, like residential care homes or supported living - particularly for people who don’t want to live alone. For people who want support during the day, it’s more flexible than a day-centre: you can use the carer’s home as a base but also go out doing the things you want to do. It helps people to live as part of an ordinary family, part of the community, and to build up strong, more natural relationships.
Who is Shared Lives for?
If you’re over 18 and want to live in a family home, but need some help to live independently, then Shared Lives could be for you. The reason people need support are varied, and could include:
If you need help paying for your care and support, you will be assessed by a social worker – but we can help you to find out if you think Shared Lives might be right for you. We can also support people who want to pay for themselves, or pay using direct payments or have an Individual Service Fund.
Shared Lives is about helping you to gain skills and independence, participate in the community, and help you achieve your own goals – whether these are big or small.
Shared Lives can be flexible to your needs
Every arrangement between a carer and person using Shared Lives is as unique as they are. The beauty of Shared Lives is it’s all about you.
Shared Days is for people who want to spend their day with a Shared Lives carer, at their home or out in the community. It might be you benefit from one-to-one interaction, or you might rather socialise in small groups. Your Shared Days experience could be about having fun and trying new activities. Or you might want to learn new skills to help you gain confidence. Our carers could support you to face new or routine challenges; such as health appointments, starting volunteering or working, or even answering mail. Whatever life throws at you, our carers can support you on the telephone and video calls or come and help you in person.
This is for people who want to have short-breaks away from their normal home. You can stay in the carers’ home and they will give you all the help you need.
Short breaks can be overnight, or can be for just a few days or a week, or even longer depending on the circumstances and what you need. It might be just once, or you may go for regular short-breaks.
A short-break will give you time away from your normal home and carers, and a chance to try new things and meet new people.
You can also move in with your Shared Lives carers. You will have your own room, and a plan on how they will support you. How long you stay could vary - it could be a few months or anything up to many decades. You might spend your days doing other things in the community or with a different Shared Lives carer. You may go and stay with another shared Lives carer for a short break a few times a year.
Who pays for Shared Lives?
Usually, the local authority will assess your support needs and arrange the payments for your support.
If you move in to a Shared Lives home, you will also pay:
ategi can support you to make these arrangements.
If you receive a direct payment, or pay for your own care, you can still be supported in Shared Lives.
Please contact ategi to find out more about how Shared Lives could support you: info@ategi.co.uk

Our Community Sight Loss team are here to help you adjust to living with sight loss, and to give you the support and tools you need to live your life the way you want to.
ALL our services are FREE.
Our support includes
Information and advice
We can advise and support on all aspects of living with sight loss. This includes understanding your eye condition, trying equipment, getting out and about, employment, or benefits.
We can also help family and carers of those with a visual impairment and can put you in touch with other organisations who can help you. If you or someone you know is living with sight loss, we’re here to help.
Social activities
It’s common to feel isolated after losing your sight. Meeting others with sight loss, in a friendly and accessible environment can really help. We run a variety of social events and can link you with clubs near you.
In your community
Our team have created hubs across the West of England so that there will be an accessible location near you. You can drop in or arrange a private appointment.
The team are regularly in our Bristol office in Fishponds, Bedminster, Whitchurch, Southmead, Thornbury, and Yate. We also have hubs in Bath, Midsomer Norton, Bradley Stoke, Chew Valley and Keynsham.
We are always trying to find new venues, so if there isn’t a convenient place listed, do get in touch to arrange a visit.
Resources
We have a wide range of demonstration equipment for you to try. We provide support on how to make technology work for you. This includes how to get the most from mobile phones, laptops and tablet computers, as well as the latest magnification technology. We can offer training on screen readers, and daily living aids such as lighting, kitchen gadgets, talking clocks and watches to support independent living. We even have some specially designed board games and activities.
We have an extensive audio library of CDs which can be posted to you free of charge.
Moving Forward Course
Being diagnosed with any form of sight loss at any age can be a scary and daunting time. To help those newly diagnosed with sight loss, we have developed a course comprising a series of talks which introduce the range of equipment, support services and advice available to help address the challenges people with sight loss face.

Tablets are not just for Swallowing!
We have developed a course called 'Tablets Aren't Just for Swallowing', specifically designed for people who are blind or partially sighted who may have never seen, touched or used a tablet device before.
The course is delivered one-to-one by our trained Sight Advisors who will move at a pace comfortable for you. We can help you develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence to use tablets and to be part of the digital world. The course will help you gain practical skills such as ordering your weekly food shop using a tablet.

We are currently running weekly Singing for the Brain sessions. This is a social group based around musical therapy and reminiscence. Lead by our facilitators and volunteers, Singing for the Brain is a relaxed and informal setting for people with dementia and their family and carers to connect, reminisce and have fun through song.
Due to the outbreak of Coronavirus we developed a new way of delivering our groups for people living with dementia, using a telephone, smartphone, tablet or computer.
Our Group Coordinators will give full information about joining and discuss options for access requirements.
We are currently in the process of planning our return to face-to-face groups but are not currently taking referrals for in-person sessions. Please do get in touch if you’d like to join virtually, or need any further support.

South Gloucestershire Disability Equality Network is an independent group run by disabled people for disabled people.
SGDEN is a fully independent organisation. We are a disabled persons’ user-led organisation (DPULO). The work of SGDEN is led by a small management committee, with a majority of disabled people.
We hold regular events to:
We use the information to:
SGDEN is funded by South Gloucestershire Council. We also have received small grants from other organisations such as the Police and Crime Commissioner, the Big Lottery and Merlin Community Grants.
What do we do?
We bring together local disabled people, and the organisations who work with them, to speak out about what will improve lives.
We provide services and events useful to disabled people through open meetings, newsletters, social media and work with other local organisations.
Who do we mean when we talk about disabled people?
SGDEN believes in the ‘social model of disability’. We believe that it is the physical and attitudinal barriers of society which make our impairments into a disability.
By impairment we mean any physical, sensory or mental health condition which can lead to disadvantage and discrimination.
This includes people with learning difficulties, mental health conditions, long-term illnesses such as kidney disease as well as the more well known physical disabilities such as wheelchair users and blind people.

We support children and young people aged 8 to 18 in South Glos who provide substantial care for a family member who is ill, disabled or misusing substances. We work with families and give one-to-one support to individual young carers, we provide social activities and outings, and we work with professionals and agencies. Referrals can be made by any professional or by families themselves. Please contact us or visit our website for referral forms. Leaflets are available upon request.
Since 1988, Southern Brooks has been working to bring communities together, engaging with people to help them reach their full potential. We've achieved this through active partnership, working to create changes that lead to stronger families, healthier communities, increased independence and people having greater say in the decisions that affect them. We've always worked with the needs of the community and developed a Theory of change to better understand how our work changes lives.
Southern Brooks has been on its own long journey of growth and change, starting life as a tiny team in the back office of Patchway Library, through small offices in community centres and schools, to the Southern Brooks you see today - with hubs in Patchway, Yate and Kingswood, and a team of over 50 staff working across the whole of South Gloucestershire and over the border into Bristol.
Throughout the last 30 plus years, we have been heavily involved in delivering all sorts of projects, including youth work, family support, anti-hate crime, breaking down barriers to employment, education and volunteering, helping EU nationals to apply for settled status following Brexit, and even ran two successful cafes! You can read more about our past projects here.
As is the nature with community-based charities, we have adapted our delivery to respond to the needs of the communities we serve, as well as in line with national funding streams. The Southern Brooks you see today is a far cry from where we started, but we are excited to be continuing on this journey, evolving with these changing times and needs of the people.

Spot purchase advocacy can help when there is no contract to provide that particular piece of work. It is a single piece of work that can be funded by a range of organisations including local authorities, NHS trusts, solicitor firms and voluntary organisations.
What can a spot purchase advocate do?
This advocacy can be on an instructed basis with an individual who can make an informed decision about what they want, or on a non-instructed basis with an individual who does not have the capacity to make an informed decision.
The Care Forum advocates can also undertake Paid Representative work for people subject to a DoLS authorisation, litigation friend work and Rule 3A work for individuals who are being deprived of their liberty in a supported living or other setting.
Self-Advocacy Workshops
The Care Forum can deliver self-advocacy workshops to groups of individuals. These workshops will build skills and resilience in groups of individuals whilst also seeking to improve wellbeing. The workshops can empower people to take control of their lives in order to mitigate against social factors that are likely to contribute to feelings of disempowerment and low self-efficacy and to tackle social determinants of physical and mental health.
Workshops are delivered to 8-12 participants either as a stand-alone session or as a series of workshops allowing issues to be covered in more depth. Content of the sessions can be tailored to the specific cohort. Examples of topics could be:
Tariffs
Professional advocacy:
£45/hr (inclusive of VAT) plus travel costs (45p/mile)

Offering a regular and vital friendship link every month. Each older person is collected from their home by a volunteer driver and taken to a volunteer host’s home for the afternoon. The group is warmly welcomed by a different host each month, but the drivers remain the same which means that over the months and years, acquaintances turn into friends and loneliness is replaced by companionship. Our tea parties are a real lifeline of friendship for our older guests who have little or no contact with family or friends. They bring people of all ages together, develop fulfilling friendships and support networks, while giving everyone involved something to look forward to each month. Tea parties are held in different locations across Bristol and South Gloucestershire. To find your nearest group please contact Regional Development Office Helen Ker-Bridges.

I will be running the class alongside Sarah B. from Buqi Works. Sarah has been teaching the Parkinsons’s group for a number of years already and has a huge amount of knowledge and experience, not just about Tai Chi & Qi Gong, but about how best to teach to help Parkinson’s sufferers and people with long term health conditions. If you haven’t done Tai Chi or Qi Gong before, come along and give it a go. We look forward to meeting you.
Lincombe Barn, Downend Folk House. Fridays in school terms. 10.15 – 12.15 (Includes tea/coffee break).
This is a gentle Tai Chi & Qi Gong class aimed specifically at helping you if you have Parkinson’s disease. We also welcome carers and family members. The class includes standing exercises from the Taijiwuxigong system, and we adapt these for you if you need to sit. We also teach some simple Tai Chi form. This is adapted for people with balance and mobility problems. If you do not have Parkinson’s, but you have mobility and balance issues, and/or a chronic health condition, this class may also be suitable for you.
There are two 45 minute sessions, with a half hour break for tea and coffee. Our participants really value the chance to sit down and chat between the sessions. Over the years, this has become a really important part of the session. Talking to other people who are going through the same thing as you is so valuable when you have a long-term health condition. These sessions have helped our participants to make new and lasting friendships.
The class is kindly supported by Bristol Parkinson’s. This means that we can run the class at a reduced cost so you only need to pay £7.00 for a 2 hour session.
This class has been reviewed and there is a Covid secure risk assessment. You can participate safe in the knowledge that we are following Government guidelines on Covid-secure teaching practises.

It’s here to remind all men that they are not alone, that other men feel exactly the same way they do, and if we share our feelings we can become mentally strong.
Together we can change the way we look after our mental health and end suicide.
SO WHAT HAPPENS IN A TALK CLUB?
There are no therapists, no couches and no judgement - just regular men sitting in a private and safe space, listening and talking.
We start with how with each man feels out of 10 and sharing why.
It’s a beautifully simple medicine that we rarely give ourselves, the ability to share how we really feel.

People can obtain reassurance night and day when they are feeling particularly anxious or in need of help. This service is invaluable to those with mobility and health problems. It enables people to to continue living at home independently. The system can be installed using an existing phone line. If there is no phone line we can provide a unit which uses mobile networks. A lightweight pendant or wrist button is provided which allows the wearer to call for assistance from anywhere in the home. The system is linked to a monitoring centre which is staffed 24/7 by a team of professionals. The Council’s own Responder Service can attend in some circumstances if there are no relatives or other contacts available. Anyone can apply for the Service; there is no need for a Social Care assessment.
Wireless sensors can also be linked to the lifeline system and these will trigger an automatic alert if there is a problem in the home.
Examples additional sensors:
Smoke alarm - the Control Centre will contact the Fire Service immediately if there is smoke in the property.
Fall detector – this device detects sudden impact and after 20 seconds will activate an alert to the monitoring centre.
Temperature extreme sensor – triggers an alert if the house becomes too hot or cold.
Property exit sensor – placed on a front or back door, this checks for people leaving a building at unusual times of the day or night.
Bed sensors - to alert if the person has left the bed for longer than expected

We all know how hard it can be when we don’t feel listened to, when what’s important to us isn’t taken seriously by others, or we just don’t have the words to say what we really feel or want. It can be even more difficult when decisions are being made about our health and social welfare.
The Advocacy People and we can help support people in Bristol with
NHS Complaints Advocacy IHCA - Supporting you if you have not had the service you expected from a service provided or paid for by the NHS.
Social Care Complaints Advocacy
Supporting you if you wish to make a complaint about local authority social care services. These are some of the things that you might want to complain about:
The attitude or behaviour of staff
A care plan, an assessment or review
Decisions that you do not agree with
They will take time to understand your situation, explore the options and help you decide what you want to do and how you want to do it. They can give you as much or as little support as you want to put your views across.
The Anchor Society was established in 1769 and for over 250 years has been committed to supporting vulnerable, older people in the Bristol and neighbouring areas.
Our core criteria are that individuals are aged 55 and over, living in the post code areas BS, BA or GL.
Grants - We provide emergency one-off grants to people who are in genuine immediate need, to enable them to remain independently in their own homes for as long as possible. The grants are generally for home repairs and adaptations, boiler repairs and replacements, mobility aids, carpets and essential home furnishings. We usually only accept grant requests from known referrers. Details of our grant giving policy can be found at :
https://www.anchorsociety.co.uk/grants/
Housing Projects - We have developed eight purpose-built retirement homes in the Lawrence Weston area and aim to build more in the region.
Other Support - The Anchor Society actively promotes working in partnership with other local organisations to provide services for older people and activities to combat isolation and loneliness. Examples of those we have worked with include BOPFA (Bristol Older People's Funding Alliance), Bristol Beacon, Alive, Age UK Bristol, LinkAge, BiTC (Bristol in The Community) and AAB (Active Ageing Bristol).

To help people remain independent or to provide practical and emotional support to people in need, we provide the following services: You can find further details of how to access each service here: https://www.redcross.org.uk/get-help
Helping people home from hospital
We help patients get home safely, quickly and effectively through our assisted discharge services. For the first 72 hours after leaving hospital, we make sure people have everything they need at home. If they need more support, we provide personalised help for the next six to twelve weeks.
Reconnecting people with their community
Chronic loneliness and isolation can have a serious impact on health and wellbeing. Our research has shown that before the coronavirus pandemic, one in four people in the UK often or always felt lonely. Since lockdown, 41 per cent of UK adults report feeling lonelier. Loneliness can be as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes a day and is likely to increase your risk of death by 29 per cent.
The British Red Cross recognise we have a role to play in tackling this. We work with local authorities and other organisations to develop and deliver loneliness services alongside other health and wellbeing services such as our support at home services.
Through strong corporate partnership with the likes of Land Rover, we provide staff and volunteers with the resources they need to reach people some of the most isolated rural and remote communities across the UK. This gives people the practical help and emotional support they need before, during and after a crisis.
If you would like help at home, we usually need a referral from your GP or another professional. To find out more or get help with loneliness, contact our team in your area.

Supporting patients in A&E
In more than 20 A&E departments across the UK, we partner with hospitals to provide practical and emotional support to patients and families. Focusing on issues outside of medical needs, we also help people get home when they don’t need a hospital bed or treatment.
Supporting the ambulance services
We provide ambulance services under contract, primarily with the NHS. We offer services at three levels:
We also provide ambulance services under a Royal Charter during surges in demand, predicted periods of high activity or adverse weather events.
Working closely with commissioners, we help reduce trips to A&E departments and provide supported-discharge services.
Hiring and loaning wheelchairs and commodes
We hire and loan wheelchairs and commodes to people who need them for a limited time to live independently. This can be part of a stand-alone service or an integrated package.
As the biggest lender of wheelchairs in the UK, we can offer commissioners a contracted-out community equipment service.
Transport for healthcare visits
We provide transport as part of an integrated offer or as a stand-alone service for people who need it due to illness, disability or injury. Our support helps people reach medical and other essential care appointments, and we can use specially adapted vehicles when necessary.
Providing first aid education
If injured people received basic first aid before emergency services arrive, up to 59 per cent of pre-hospital deaths could be prevented. These are the findings from our research and the reason we teach first aid to adults and young people. We also focus on training people who are at a higher risk of experiencing a first aid emergency.

As a volunteer, you could be supporting someone in their homes, to get involved in activities like baking, gardening, arts and crafts or improving their computer skills.

We work with people who are in recovery or experiencing other mental health struggles. Volunteers should be physically able to spend a day outside doing practical tasks. We don’t crack the whip! We take breaks and help people work at a comfortable pace.
There are usually three staff members on site including one female staff member. All are first aid trained. We provide all tools, gloves and guidance.
Tasks include scything, cutting back bramble, collecting firewood, splitting logs, making a dead hedge, cutting up a fallen branch, cutting saplings, clearing paths etc. The days are crucial to the restoration and management of the arboretum. We also incorporate opportunities for volunteers and staff alike to learn about the trees, plants and the wildlife in the woods.
Our facilities are basic but we do have shelter and we have a compost loo on site. Unfortunately the days are not suitable for people in wheelchairs or with limited mobility.

All walks are free and led by a group of trained leaders who can help you take the first steps to a more active lifestyle, as well as being a great way to meet new people.
The walks are between 30 and 90 minutes, designed to suit different walking abilities. These walks are designed to accommodate any walker’s needs, allowing people to walk the distance they feel comfortable with.
People of all ages and walking abilities are supported, including those who use wheelchairs or have other access requirements. To find out more or ask any questions, please contact us: Telephone: 01454 863440 or Email: walking@southglos.gov.uk
All walkers walk at their own risk. During the briefing at the start of each walk potential hazards are highlighted. We would be very grateful if walkers could pay particular attention to the briefing for their own safety and the safety of others. Please don’t walk if you are feeling unwell.
No specialist equipment is needed for our walks but please dress appropriately for the weather.

WildPace offer these online wellbeing in nature sessions to enjoy the benefits that nature connection brings us. Nature connection relaxes and restores us, boosting wellbeing and improving our resilience, mood and feelings.
Each week we look at what we love about nature, share what inspires us and take a short guided video walk, connecting to the season, wildlife and natural events.
During these sessions we engage with the 5 pathways to nature connectedness – contact with the senses, noticing the emotions nature brings, noticing nature’s beauty, the meaning nature brings us and our compassion for nature.
There’s an invitation to some nature-based mindfulness, just spending a little time being present in our senses. This which is shown to have a strong and lasting beneficial effect in activating our connectedness.
Other activites may include a “bring and share” based on natural objects, nature-based creativies or crafts and book and film recommendations.
The sessions are primarily for people who have less access to nature perhaps for social, economic, physical or other reasons, coupled with a desire to improve wellbeing.
The sessions are a place to have a break from everyday life and to relax and enjoy a sense of community based on our shared experiences and joy of nature and are a kind and caring space.
These 1 ½ hour sessions are on a Thursday morning 10am to 11.30am
I will send instructions well in advance when you book your session so you know how to join.
Fees are on a pay as you can basis on a sliding scale starting from £6.00 per session. Book a session by selecting dates below. Numbers are usually restricted to 10 per session. You can book as many sessions as you wish to, there is no upper or lower limit. Just book and turn up and enjoy what nature has to offer.

Yate Men’s Shed
Yate Men’s Shed is a community-based organization that provides a venue for members of our community to meet in a friendly and convivial environment away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, to pursue their practical hobbies / interests and to socialise. Our members have a broad spectrum of skills and interests which we are able to share and expand on.
We hold two afternoon sessions a week at Yate Parish Hall, Station Road, where members can use the workshop facilities or just drink tea and have a chat. The sessions help reduce loneliness and isolation, but most importantly, they are fun.
Men typically find it more difficult to build social connections than women, and unlike women many men may have a limited network of friends with whom they can share personal worries and concerns. Whilst not the case for all men, for many, when retirement eventually comes, it can feel like their personal identity and purpose is lost. The Men’s Sheds community helps to change this by reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness, enabling members to gain a new sense of purpose and belonging.
So, if you would like to join us, do come along or give us a call you would be very welcome.
