Community of Purpose

Just 4 weeks to go until the Bristol Young Heroes Awards 2026! 💜🌟

In just one month, we’ll come together to celebrate some of the most inspiring young people in Bristol. Young people who have shown courage, kindness, resilience, leadership and determination, often in the face of significant challenges.

The countdown is officially on, and we can't wait to shine a spotlight on our incredible finalists, celebrate their achievements and share their stories with the city.

Who’s excited for the big night? 🙌

It's Volunteers' Week, and we want to say a huge thank you to all of our incredible volunteers!🙏

These photos feature just some of our most recent volunteers who have given their time, energy and support to help make a difference to young people across Bristol. Whether you're supporting at Break Free, mentoring a young person, helping at events or getting involved in another way, every contribution matters.

Our volunteers help create opportunities, build confidence and provide positive experiences that can have a lasting impact on a young person's life.

If you've ever thought about getting involved, we'd love to hear from you. We're currently looking for volunteers to support Break Free throughout the rest of the year. 🩷

Just 1 week to go until the Bristol Together Championships Purposeful Playoffs! 💛⚽

We can’t wait to bring all the schools together to celebrate the friendships, confidence and teamwork built throughout the programme. It’s going to be an incredible day recognising everything the children have achieved both on and off the pitch. 🙌

A huge thank you to our investors Avent Interiors, Exacta Technologies Limited, Olympian, Lancer Scott Ltd and UWE Bristol for making Bristol Together Championships possible.

An incredible achievement from the team at Peaple Talent! 🚴🩷

After taking on their Bristol to Paris bike ride challenge, they have raised a whopping £10,000 for our Break Free programme. 🙌

This amazing fundraising effort will help us continue providing meals, activities, opportunities and support for young people across Bristol during the school holidays.

We are so grateful for the time, energy, determination and support the whole team has put into this challenge. Thank you for making such a huge difference!🙏

Last night we held our Bristol Young Heroes Awards Getting to Know You Event.

It was a brilliant evening filled with fun activities, games, food and plenty of opportunities for our finalists to relax, connect and get to know one another ahead of the awards ceremony. 🙌

The event is all about helping finalists feel comfortable and confident, building friendships, encouraging positive peer support and creating a real sense of community. Rather than competitors, it’s amazing to see everyone cheering each other on and sharing their journeys together. 🌟

A huge thank you to our past finalists who attended and helped make the evening so special. We can’t wait for the Bristol Young Heroes Awards 2026. 💜
