We also launched our Bringing Bristol Together campaign. We asked you to share what kept you going over lockdown – and you delivered.
Thank you to everyone who sent in their videos, which we’ve compiled to create our campaign film that you can watch here:

Bristol24/7 is also pleased to announce Forest Avon Trust as the new charity we are supporting this quarter. The Forest Avon Trust plant and care for trees, focussing on the wide-ranging benefits they bring – for health and quality of life, air quality, flood prevention, biodiversity, recreation, soil quality and many others.
Here at Bristol24/7, we are excited to support the trust through our public and business memberships in the form of a free marketing package, exposure on the Bristol24/7 platforms and collaborating with our business community.

And finally, we are very pleased to announce the return of the Young Chef project. Since autumn 2017, the Young Chefs project has developed into a bi-annual 12-week course aimed at young people who aren’t at work or in other education. The course, which is returning, delivers practical qualifications, invaluable experience and has directly led to graduates gaining permanent employment in the industry.
