Bristol is a city in the South West of England with a population of approximately 450,000 people. The city has recently been the subject of many news headlines due to a statue of a slave-trader, Edward Colston, being thrown into the harbour during the Black Lives Matter protests. The removal of the statue was largely celebrated by Bristol’s citizens, many of whom had been campaigning for it to be relocated to a museum for a number of years.

Bristol is a vibrant city with a thriving arts and culture scene. It is only UK city to have been awarded the title of European Green Capital City and many environmental campaigns and organisations have their origins or main UK bases here – such as the Soil Association, Sustrans and Triodos Bank. It is also the home of the UK’s largest and most successful local currency – the Bristol Pound.
