Black Lives Matter - Wellspring Settlement Statement
We stand in solidarity with the black members of our community and those fighting everywhere for equality and justice. We are with you. We believe that Black Lives Matter.
The history and legacy in Bristol and the whole of the UK continues to present us with challenges. We understand that the pain, anger and anguish is shared within our community.
We also know that people from Black and other Ethnic Minorities are disproportionately affected by Coronavirus and support the call for real action to be taken to understand and reduce the effects of this.
We will be outspoken, loud and visible alongside our community and about where we stand as an organisation. We constantly strive to improve on how we can offer a safe and inclusive space for everyone. We always want to do better and will be reflecting on how to do so as an organisation. We are here to provide services and support to the people that need it most and welcome any feedback on how we can do this more effectively.
We support local people to improve their health and wellbeing and to build the confidence to achieve their goals and transform not only their lives but those of others in their community
If you live locally then we're here to support you with your health and wellbeing. We provide a range of services and activities from social groups to exercise classes, free NHS health checks, a singing group and community garden.

How we can help
Improving or maintaining wellbeing is at the heart of all of Wellspring’s services. As a local community-based charity, we're here to support people who may be struggling with issues such as stress, anxiety, social isolation and physical ailments. We also address the social issues such as debt and housing problems that can contribute to physical and emotional problems.
We improve the wellbeing of local people by bringing together a partnership of community health activities and services - linking together treatments, therapies and activities in a shared space in order to build a healthier community. In essence we make it easier for our community to access health and wellbeing services because they are nearer their doorstep. If you feel you need advice, help or assistance with emotional or physical wellbeing then please take a look at our full range of services. Feel free to get in touch by telephone or email for a no-obligation, confidential chat. Our services are either free or low-cost.
