Bristol Giving Day 2020
COVID 19 has changed our lives. Everyone and every organisation has been forced to adapt, but the costs are not equally shared. However, many incredible charities in Bristol have worked to reduce suffering across Bristol’s communities.
At Bristol Giving Day, we have had to adapt too, meaning that we cannot run a day of fun activities: but we still want to celebrate the achievements of our City’s amazing talent and get-up-and-go. Join us for an online event on 14.10.2020
