Bristol Empire Dragons

We are a non profit making club based at the Ariel Rowing Club and welcome novices and anyone just wanting to see what it's all about. It's great team sport for all the family ages 10 upwards. We regularly have local and not so local Scout Groups down for sessions and they have a great time.

We also train most of the charity crews that take part in the Bristol Breakfast Rotary Round Table Dragon Boat Event held in the harbour and fully support that organisation.

So if you want to come and see what it's all about, have a go and eventually join us take a look at the site or e-mail us. We are also celebrating the Chinese New Year on 28th and 29th Jan at the Bristol M-Shed. In the meantime we are training for our next race on the Thames at Henley and preparing for the league events in 2012. We are Bristol's only Dragon Boat Club and we represent Bristol in the Premier Dragon Boat Racing League and a number of members have raced for Great Britain and literally travelled the World taking part in events in China.

Envision

Envision is a national charity that works in 6th forms throughout the UK, providing opportunities for young people to make a difference in their community.
In a nutshell, we are recruiting adult mentors to support groups of 6th formers in 15 schools and colleges around Bristol, one of which is Brislington Enterprise College (BEC). These mentors support students to choose an issue they feel strongly about, and then create and implement a project to tackle this issue in a positive way. Along the way they learn invaluable skills and finish with a sense of empowerment.
All we ask is that Volunteer Mentors are able to give 2 hours a week, to come to a school weekly, every Friday from 1-3pm. And that they are committed to volunteer from Sept – April (not including school holidays).
At the moment we especially need mentors in BEC but we are also in need of mentors in Filton, Redfield, Chew Valley and Gordano.
The next step for those interested would be to have a chat over the phone, where I can give them a better overview of the role and answer any questions. They can call me on 0117 315 5113 or email me, Rebecca Simms Project Co-ordinator.

Neighbourhood Partnerships

Brislington Community Partnership became a Neighbourhood Partnership (NP) in 2008. NPs will assist local decision making on services and will be introduced across the city where local people can have more say in influencing delivery of services, bringing together local people, community groups, councillors, voluntary and statutory agencies.
