Bristol Youth Horn Concern (BYHC) is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC). They have activities including football, basketball and kickboxing to support young people's mental health and help them gain confidence. During lockdown people from the Black and Minoritised communities were living in poor conditions and BYHC helped them to get into green spaces. Khalil Abdi, the Founder, joined this programme to become sustainable as a social enterprise, improve overall, and understand data collection.
“The best opportunity we had has been with BSWN, it’s a good example that BSWN understands grassroots and what we need. It’s something we were missing for a long time and BSWN understand this struggle!”
