Welcome to Bristol Children's Charity

Since moving to Bristol over 25 years ago, I am fortunate to have been acquainted with many former members of the charity including founding member Graham Russell and former President Tim Duggan. I felt inspired by their ongoing efforts and, after retirement from the Royal Navy, I felt I had time to offer my services to this most worthy cause.
I have filled the post of Treasurer and, most recently that of Secretary, at short notice, whilst the charity regathered itself after a difficult period. I am delighted to have been elected Chair by the Directors and Trustees and I feel that great things lie ahead, continuing the work started by our former Chair, Jess Harvey.
We are a team, with one purpose - the improvement of the lives of children within the BS postcodes who really do need our help.
Best regards,
Mel Brooks
