Were you involved with the Bristol Crisis Service for Women between 1986 and 2014?

Get involved with our heritage project! Over the next 18 months we will be recording oral histories of the women who founded, worked and volunteered at the pioneering Bristol Crisis Service for Women. We want to capture as many memories of being involved with this groundbreaking organisation from as many women as possible, so if you or someone you know have got something to share, please get in touch.
