SMV strives to achieve a series of ambitious and wide-reaching objectives across the region, but we don’t do this alone. The many individuals and organisations who work with us year on year help to increase the positive impact of our activities. We’re enormously grateful to SMV’s ‘Friends’, a group of individuals who give a great deal of their time and expertise to support our work, and to the organisations who partner with us on specific initiatives to deliver the most benefit to the people of Greater Bristol.
"The generosity of individuals and organisations, who we refer to as our friends and partners, make the impact of our work so much more far reaching."
Caroline Duckworth, SMV Treasurer
The Friends are a group of inspiring individuals who give their time, energy and enthusiasm, as well as their skills, expertise and experience, to support SMV’s activities. They share our passion to improve access to opportunities for young people; they recognise the need for quality care provision for older people, particularly those who are most vulnerable and disadvantaged; and they bolster our support for social businesses; as well as many of our other charitable activities.
