WE BACK BRISTOL! DO YOU?
September 11, 2026
On 5th September (International Day of Charity in case you were wondering), we launched WE BACK BRISTOL by investing £36,530 – where it’s needed, when it’s needed.
Why? We love this city and we are committed to supporting the charities that give it its creativity, compassion and colour.
1% isn’t just a nice thing to do – it’s the least we owe the city that made us.
