A leading youth work organisation has launched a campaign to raise awareness of the marked cultural, social and economic divide that prevents young people in South Bristol fulfilling their potential.
Youth Moves said its Bridging the Gap campaign will aim to raise awareness of the gulf between areas in South Bristol and the rest of the city by providing data, telling real stories, lobbying local authorities, businesses, partners and communities to act.
The name has been inspired by the fact that generations of kids in places like Withywood, Hartcliffe, Stockwood and Whitchurch grow up never visiting the Clifton Suspension Bridge, or never once going into the city centre - even though it’s just a few miles away.
