TAP FOR BRISTOL

In September 2019, Bristol City Centre BID launched TAP for Bristol in partnership with local homeless support charity Caring in Bristol. Our aim is to make Bristol the city that solves homelessness.

WHAT WE DO

Thanks to the investment and involvement from our levy paying businesses, we’re creating a better Bristol for all: Our vision is a future-focused city that attracts business, investment, and people to create a resilient and welcoming city for all.

Our guiding principles are to offer strong and effective governance, to have clear accountability, to give our levy paying businesses value for money and to be responsive to our business’s needs.

About Us

OUR OBJECTIVES

Our second term builds on the past five years' successes while adapting to business needs. We're dedicated to four key themes that evolve from previous work and new insights from our consultation, addressing economic, social, and environmental changes. You can explore our website for a full overview of Bristol City Centre BID.
