Our response to the recent demonstrations

We are saddened and horrified about the recent events that have unfolded across the UK.

We utterly condemn the racist protests and acts of violence that have occurred. We are proud of our fellow citizens in Bristol who came together on Wednesday evening to peacefully protest against the recent wave of racism, showing that there is no place for this in our society.

We recognise the significant impact this has had on our communities and the families we work with, and we stand united against all forms of xenophobia.

Local resources to support you

Bristol City Council have created a list of local resources to support anyone who has experienced or witnessed any racism or hate crimes:

Standing together

To all of our communities and families: stay safe, we are here for you, and we stand united with you.
