Bright Project
The purpose of Bright Project is to work with Black and other Minority Ethnic (BME) voluntary sector organisations in the Bristol and South Gloucestershire to improve access to legal and benefits advice for their communities
We aim to:
- Improve the quantity and quality of advice centres for BME communities in Bristol and South Gloucestershire
- Increase the number of BME agencies having the capacity and resources to offer direct advice services to BME communities
- Address the community languages advice needs within BME communities and reduce the need for interpreting services
- Address the specific advice needs of refugee communities
- Ensure effective networking and linkages between BME communities and all other advice providers in Bristol & South Gloucestershire and develop effective referral systems.
As a result of the Projects intervention, it is hoped that the following will be achieved:
- Increased provision of Community languages advice services to Black and other Minority Ethnic and refugee communities from BME organisations
- Establishment of a supported referral system
- Higher standards of provision based on Quality Mark and other baseline standards
- Greater awareness by all providers of the advice needs of BME communities
- Improved networking and collaboration between all relevant organisations
- The setting up of a BME Advice Provider's Forum
- Greater numbers of BME individuals able to give professional advice for BME communities
- Greater confidence of BME agencies and communities in accessing resources and building capacity
- Increased access to social justice for BME communities
