REFUGEE WOMEN OF BRISTOL 

Our main activity is a drop-in centre 1 day per week open to all refugee and asylum seeking women in Bristol. The drop-in centre provides education, advice, information, support, social activities and training, volunteer and employment opportunities to refugee women. We also participate in local events and forums to give a voice to refugee women.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 7 years
