    Ladyfest Bristol
    In 2007 Ladyfest Bristol took place in various venues across the city. Events included singing workshops, gigs, tea parties, reggae club nights, feminist workshops, and much more.  Profits from Ladyfest were kindly donated to Bristol Fawcett.

    Bristol Feminist Network
    Many Bristol Fawcett members are also members of Bristol Feminist Network, a group of women and men from Bristol and the surrounding areas who are interested in discussing feminist ideas, who believe in the importance of women’s liberation, and who actively campaign on issues of gender inequality and oppression.

    VOSCUR
    We are members of VOSCUR, Bristol’s Council for Voluntary Service.

    University of the West of England - CEMS
    In 2007-08, a team of Information Systems students from the University of the West of England undertook a consultancy project for us resulting in much improved communications both internally (our closed e-group) and externally (this website!)  This project has been of immense benefit to Bristol Fawcett and has enabled us to improve our efficiency as well as our reach.

    We are members of the Coalition to End Violence Against Women.

    Fair Play South West
    We are members of Fair Play South West, the regional network on gender issues.
