Volunteering
The fantastic team of volunteers at BRR is fundamental to the work of the organisation. Without the energy and commitment of volunteers we simply could not deliver our services.

Fundraise
Raise funds to support people seeking asylum in Bristol
People who fundraise for us are inspirational. They raise thousands of pounds each year, enabling people seeking asylum in Bristol to access specialist support and a welcoming community.
There are lots of ways to fundraise for us. You could…
- Run, cycle, walk, hike or swim
- Organise an event, like a bake sale, a pub quiz or a raffle
- Ask for donations at special occassions, like your wedding or birthday
- Take on the Great Bristol Half Marathon (see below)
Whatever your idea, we will support you from start to finish. If you would like to chat to us about your idea, please email fundraising@bristolrefugeerights.org.
All the funds you raise will directly support refugees and people seeking asylum in Bristol to feel safe and welcome, live free of poverty and rebuild their lives in the local community. Thank you for thinking of us.
The Great Bristol Half Marathon
If you’re interested in running for Bristol Refugee Rights next year (2027), please email and we will let you know when we have places.
