We are pleased that Bristol Somali Resource Centre was among Bristol Lord Mayor 's medal winners for 2020/21 for the positive contribution we have made during the Covid & continue to do. We are also congratulating other fellow colleagues (both organisations & individuals) who received the medals.


Thank you to Bristol Somali Resource Centre for inviting us to talk to the community elders on preventative health and wellbeing tips. Building strong social ties with communities is the foundation for improving health inequality. #getjabbed #getscreened #allhealthmatters


We, Bristol Somali Resource Centre had a successful joint event with SEND and You at Wellspring Settlement this morning, so people in the community can find out more about the services we offer.



"I am Somali and I made this film for Somali people to watch a film in their mother tongue without needing subtitles,” Khadar Ayderus Ahmed. Part of Cables&Cameras CIC' incredible #BristolInspired22 programme, tickets for The Gravedigger's Wife are out now! wshd.to/theguardian




Bristol City Council & Avon Fire & Rescue Service listen to the residents who lived & survived from 16 floors building where one man died.Don’t dismiss their lived experiences & what they've gone through.Whatever, you claim has worked hasn’t.If worked why there was no single sound of fire alarm.

If a building full of people is on fire, and not one person hears the fire alarm, then the alarm system is not working. It’s really that simple. Bristol City Council

Bristol City Council and Marvin Rees please act now and fund their interim accommodation. This young pupil needs to get back to school and back into routine. Him missing out on vital learning will eventually cost far more than any hotel bill Travelodge UK.


Also, Bristol City Council claiming "support had been made available by the council "throughout this difficult time". Can they clarify what support they made available for her? The support Selma needs from BCC is an emergency place while BCC is repairing the flat they offered to her.


Can you donate any Somali-language books? ECHO operate a mobile library for refugees stuck in camps in Greece, and have very few Somali books in stock. We'll make sure any books brought to Bristol Somali Resource Centre are passed straight on to ECHO. instagram.com/refugeelibrary/ #somali #books
