About us
Who we are
Aid Box Community provides support, supplies and sanctuary to refugees and people seeking asylum in Bristol. Our Welcome Hub is a safe space where people can come to be part of our community, for a chat and a cuppa, signposting to our partner services or just to escape isolation and build friendships. We also have a Free Shop where we provide a choice of free, quality items donated by the public - from clothing, toiletries household toys, to electrical items. We run a Connections program connecting people for friendship and run both Women’s and Men’s Activity Groups. All with loads of Love and Hope.
We are a small staff team supported by a huge team of amazing volunteers and donors. We are passionate about improving the lives of our service users and are proactive and creative.
Our vision: Is a world where every refugee and asylum seeker are given the opportunity to start a new life.
Our mission: Is to uphold the basic rights of refugees and asylum seekers by providing practical aid, support and direction and, by doing so, making their daily lives a little easier.
Our Values: Aid Box Community welcomes displaced people with open arms into the ABC family. Together, we will provide choice, love, hope, advocacy and a space where everyone belongs, and everyone is important.
