We are BSWN, a driving force for racial justice!
We are a Black-led racial justice organisation based in Bristol that supports the development of dynamic, independent, and strong Black and Minoritised communities, businesses, and organisations to flourish whilst challenging systemic barriers. We drive racial equity in the UK society’s dimensions of research, policy, innovation, socio-economics, and health through a collective and meaningful community-led approach.

“Through strategic mentorship, BSWN has provided guidance in organisational development and business planning, which which was instrumental in creating our strategic plan. We’ve also benefited from their capacity‑building workshops, particularly in monitoring & evaluation which have helped improve our ability to secure funding and demonstrate our impact. Being part of the Coach House community has opened doors to new networks, connecting us with potential funders and partner organisations we would not have encountered otherwise. Thanks to BSWN’s support, we’ve been able to transition from a community project into a more resilient and professional organisation—one equipped to create lasting, change.” - Bristol Horn Youth Concern

“BSWN’s support has been nothing short of life-changing for me. From the moment I connected with them, they have been right there consulting, guiding and holding my hand through the unknown, making sure I had everything I needed to thrive. Thanks to BSWN, my organisation is now structured to run efficiently, and I have been able to host events backed by their resources and participation. BSWN opened doors I never thought possible, putting me on panels, getting me involved in events, and even leading me to my very first self-employed job! BSWN isn’t just a network; it is a movement, and there is truly nothing else like it in Bristol. I am forever grateful for their support and for believing in me every step of the way.” - Unique Retreats CIC
