Bristol Hospitality Network (BHN)

Bristol Hospitality Network (BHN) We stand in solidarity with people seeking asylum and facing destitution in Bristol. Without an income, these individuals can't find accommodation.

We support people seeking asylum through our weekly Welcome Centre drop-in, and by finding accommodation for those who have been refused asylum. BHN works alongside asylum seekers facing destitution by sourcing hosted accommodation and creative community engagement across the city. We estimate there are 100 destitute asylum seekers living in Bristol, caught in the loopholes of the system - unable

to work and unable to claim benefits. We provide full board accommodation for our members in host households and in our men's hostel in Bristol, as well as opportunities in community volunteering and as part of our social enterprise, Moveable Feast. We run a drop-in session and provide a hot meal every Monday at our Welcome Centre, offer legal advice and support, run ESOL classes, and host events. We also feel it’s important to celebrate when there are joys to be acknowledged and we enjoy some wonderful dinners and parties - often a melting pot of cultures! Look out for upcoming events via our Facebook. For more information about Bristol Hospitality Network, please visit http://www.bhn.org.uk.

Please join us and come together to watch, reflect, and think about what action looks like.
