Welcome.


Hi everyone and welcome to Bristol Grandparents Support Group blog. Although we are Bristol based we have grandparents from all over the UK and beyond as members.

It is estimated that over one million children in the UK are denied contact with their grandparents due to family breakdown which may have been caused by divorce/separation, alcohol/drug dependency,domestic violence,bereavement or family feud.
Every child has the right to have contact with their grandparents
if they wish and unless proven unsafe for them to do so. To deny contact from a parent or grandparent has to become as socially unacceptable as drink driving.
I hope to keep you up to date with what is going on in BGSG and I shall continue to campaign for the rights of children to have a loving and meaningful relationship with both parents and their extended family. So please join in as good to hear your views, not just mine!
I also will support via Skype.
There is no membership fee to be part of Bristol Grandparents Support Group.
Esther Rantzen says, " To every grandparent, links of love can never be broken in our hearts."

Please contact during office hours.

Fundraising ideas

Thinking caps on folks.
Time to think about raising funds for BGSG, as you know there are no membership fees so need to come up with some ideas.
In the past we have received support from Waitrose, Quartet Community Funding, Neighbourhood Partnership  and some private donations.
They are now running low.
How creative can we be?

I have just had an email that says the the Neighbourhood Partnership they have temporally lifted the cap on well being grants, but we need a project any ideas?
