Young Bristol


Young Bristol is a charity in Bristol, England providing activities for young people in the city.
The organisation was founded in 1928, building on the Bristol Boys & Girls Club.
It now runs 21 youth clubs and provides day and residential activities including high ropes adventure, abseiling, archery, bushcraft, canoeing and kayaking. It is also a provider of activities under the National Citizen Service as a Local Delivery Partner. One of the largest clubs is the Broad Plain Boys' Club where the building was adorned with a Banksy mural. This was later sold, with the permission of Banksy, to raise money for the club. The records of many of the constituent clubs are held by Bristol Archives.
It is a registered charity Number: 301681 and the local county organisation of the Boys and Girls Club National Association. The headquarters is in the old fitre station, which is part of the same complex as the Central Police Station, a Grade II listed building in Silver Street.
In March 2018 Young Bristol was shortlisted as a finalist in the local apprenticeship of the Year awards. In April 2018 Young Bristol announced that Jonathan Webb was taking over as the president of the organisation.
