About us
Who we are
Changes Bristol is a mental health charity that began in 2003 when people with lived experience came together to form a support network for those suffering mental distress. We have developed as an organisation through the experience of our members, developing our services to meet the needs of communities throughout Bristol and the surrounding area through our peer support model.
We are a peer led organisation and a grass roots community organisation. The vast majority of our Board of Trustees, staff and volunteers all have lived experience or have used our service for their own mental wellbeing. Lived experience is at the core of our organisation and peer support has been the bedrock of our services since our foundation..
We largely rely on the good will and service of a large volunteer base to provide our services and our funding is currently supported by grants, donations and a small amount of Bristol City Council funding.
We have a team of over 75 volunteers which is growing all the time, as well as the Board of Trustees who are themselves volunteers. We currently have 10 employees helping to deliver services to over 500 people every year.
Working for Changes Bristol is a unique experience where working as a team and supporting each other, and helping to develop future services in conjunction with our members, are at the core of our ethos.
