Bristol United Against Racism statement

By signing, we stand alongside the Black South West Network (BSWN), SARI and others in the call “to take a stand against racism in all its forms, overt and structural, and to act with courage in the face of hate.”

As a charity rooted in Bristol’s communities, we are dedicated to promoting equity, inclusion, and respect – and to using our voice and actions to help build a fairer, more compassionate city for everyone.

“At Bristol Charities, we are united in our commitment to equity, inclusion, and justice. We stand with the Black South West Network in their call to take a stand against racism in all its forms, overt and structural, and to act with courage in the face of hate.

As leaders, we recognise the responsibility we share to challenge discrimination, to listen and learn from the experiences of others, and to use our influence to help build a fairer, more compassionate Bristol.”
