Progressive Bristol

👋 You eagle-eyed lot may have spotted a few changes around here. New logo, new colours, a fresh new look.

We're now 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗹. Here's the story (and stick around, because we're celebrating with giveaways for families and schools 👀).

When we started, we were sports coaches on a mission: to make a real impact on children's lives through physical activity. "𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙨" fit us perfectly back then.

And that mission hasn't changed. 𝙎𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙝𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖 𝙝𝙪𝙜𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙤.

But over the years we've grown, and we've matured. What began as sports coaching became after-school clubs. Then PE and PPA cover. Then sports mentoring. Then holiday clubs. Then full wraparound childcare, with its own philosophy and qualified staff. Then swimming through Swim:ED. And we're still going.

Along the way we realised something. As much as we love sport, children need more than that to thrive. They need a breadth of experiences to grow and develop as whole individuals. That's what we've become: not just a sports company, but a team that supports the whole child.

"𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙨" stopped telling that story. And having everything scattered across different names and pages didn't work for us, or for the families and schools we serve.

So we've brought it all together under one name that fits who we are today: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗹.

Same mission. Same team. Same standards. One home for everything we do.

🎉 And we're not doing this quietly. To celebrate, we've got a whole load of giveaways coming up.

Parents and carers, there's free childcare, free merch and more up for grabs.
Schools, you could win free provision, enrichment days and more.

Here's how to get involved:
👉 Give us a follow so you don't miss a thing
👉 Tag a parent, carer, friend or school who'd want in

The more you share, the more chances to win. Let's celebrate this properly. ⚽
