Bristol Bears Community Foundation uses sport as a vehicle to engage with, educate, and support a broad range of community participants across Greater Bristol and beyond. The vast majority of our work targets those young and older people that live in some of the most disadvantaged wards in the country, let alone the South-West, and has been recognised nationally on a number of occasions for the life-changing impact it has had.

Our programmes cover four key areas; participation, health and wellbeing, education, and disability and inclusion. Well-qualified and experienced foundation staff deliver a number of community programmes in each area, this year working with children as young as five and participants in our older people provision beyond 100 years old.
