There are many ways and many levels that you can get involved with Bristol Link with Beira. Follow us on social media (links in footer), sign up for the newsletter to keep up to date with what is going on at BLB. You can simply donate or fundraise for projects in Beira; generally, spread the word, or offer your time and develop your skills whilst helping defray the operating costs in Bristol.
Our volunteers in Bristol contribute to one or both of our Working Groups: one deals with Programmes and the other deals with Operations.
The Programmes Group is looking for volunteers with knowledge of the international development sector and grant applications. There are also opportunities for academic research and placements for students.
The Operations Group is looking for volunteers with knowledge of Charity Governance, civil society in Bristol, Fundraising and Communications.
Committed volunteers may become Charity Trustees.
Added opportunities to practice your Portuguese language skills (not essential!).
Bristol has been working with schools in Bristol and Beira for many years and we are always looking for teachers and students to reinforce those links as part of school activities. Could your school do some sessions using our Learning and Activity Packs?
Assist us with fundraising, programmes and management.
