Double the Difference!
Changes Bristol is proud to announce that they have been chosen to take part in the Big Give Small Charities Week campaign!
Small charity, big impact: Real change happens closest to the community. It’s not about size, but about relevance, trust and connection.
Small charities hold communities together, create belonging where it’s fragile, opportunity where it’s scarce, and hope when it’s needed most. For the people and communities that rely on them, local charities may be small in size – but they’re BIG in impact.
Every pound matched means more lives transformed. Your support will make double the difference.
Changes Bristol is raising much needed funds for their Fishponds & Hillfields group, where people are supported every Wednesday evening with their mental health. This weekly group is free with no waiting list and anybody can attend.
The Fishponds group is special because it brings people together in a supportive, non-judgemental space. It’s a community where members share their lived experiences to encourage and help one another. Whether you’re a regular attendee or joining for the first time, you’ll always find a friendly welcome.
“The group has helped me overcome a lot, without it I would not be here today, so thank you!”
“This group was there for me three years ago when I was isolated and going through a traumatic event and it made me feel heard, seen and like what I went through wasn’t okay and that has been monumental and it continues to keep me here and sane.”
“It’s a really positive group and a lot of us have been going to the group for years and years. I’ve been attending for 10! It gets me out of the house and meeting new people.”
“Fishponds brings lots of different people to the group. It’s one big family, we all look out for each other”
“You don’t have to share, but it’s a place where we can support each other, give reflections and recommendations for what worked for us that may help you.”
