Bristol City Council are involved in a review of funding for voluntary organisations that threatens to remove important funding from the organisations and services listed below. In many cases this will mean the end of all city council funding for these services and will put the continuation of the services in jeopardy. In almost every case these are services targeted at the elderly, the vulnerable and ethnic minorities.

Details of the organisations and services whose funding is under review can be seen on the BADACA website at http://www.bristolanticutsalliance.org.uk/2011/07/07/bristol-city-council-launch-attack-on-voluntary-sector-services-for-the-elderly/ This comes at the same time as the council plans to turn 500 people out of their council-run care homes and close them along with day centres.
