OUR IMPACT

Bristol Somali Youth Voice

Bristol Somali youth voice is Somali led youth organisation, that provides youth provision in Bristol and surrounding areas, the organisation was developed to respond long term shortage of culturally competent youth provision in Bristol to advocate and empower disadvantaged young people, reduce school exclusions, youth crimes and improve accessibility of marginalised young people to other services.

We have implemented different youth programs to create a safe space for young people, to come together, involve physical activities, socialise and develop friendships. We brought young people and community groups from different postcodes and backgrounds to promote community cohesions, integration, and positive socializations. 

In 2015, 2016,2017,2019 and 2022, we created big sporting events to bringing together more than 6000 young people and adults from different areas of the city.

 We have established communality led campaigns to educate, empower and improve accessibility of mental health provisions, we inspire young people and communities to overcome stigma and openly talk about mental health to seek support when they need to.
