Donate to BISC

As a charity, BISC is thankful for the financial support of local churches, trusts and individuals which enables us to continue our work with international students.

Thank you for your generosity.

 

At the moment we have two main fundraising concerns:

BISC Roof Appeal

We have had extensive problems with our roof this year. Rainwater has come through a tenant’s bedroom ceiling and into the lounge below. Although we have a temporary solution, we need to replace the flat roof to eradicate this problem altogether. We are looking to raise £17.5K to cover the cost of recent repairs and a full replacement in the next few months. We need the money for this project by 18 September - before the autumn rains begin!

Winter Wellbeing Appeal

With the increased price of living and accommodation in Bristol we are finding that students require more emotional and practical help - especially in the winter. We want to be able to offer additional support to struggling international students during this period.

  • £5 donated enables us to offer a free meal to any student struggling to make ends meet.

  • £10 helps us to keep BISC warm and welcoming through the chilly winter.

  • £25 enables us to run a cosy Friday social without charging for tickets.

  • £50 a month allows us to run a Kintsugi Hope wellbeing group (kintsugihope.com) to support student mental health.

  • £150 a month will cover our shortfall from accommodating a BISC tenant at a reduced rent.

We at BISC are so grateful for the financial gifts that we receive from individuals, local churches and trusts. Through these donations we are able to welcome international students to our wonderful city of Bristol - providing them with food, social events, practical help and a community to be part of. It’s been amazing to see how BISC has become a second family to international students who are a long way from home.
