About us
Our commitment to female wellbeing
We organise workshops, speaker panels, radio shows, and community events that celebrate South Asian culture, promote mental health awareness, and bring people together to learn, connect, and share their stories.
Inspire
We aim to inspire pride, confidence, and unity within the South Asian community by showcasing the richness of our shared heritage.
Through storytelling, creative projects, and community events, we celebrate the achievements and contributions of South Asians in Bristol and beyond — helping individuals, especially younger generations, feel empowered by their identity and culture.
Educate
Education lies at the heart of our mission. We organise workshops, talks, and radio shows that explore both cultural understanding and mental health awareness.
By opening up conversations around wellbeing and identity, we help break down stigmas, encourage learning across generations, and create opportunities for personal and community growth.
Promote
We are dedicated to promoting South Asian culture and representation across Bristol and beyond. Our community events and collaborations raise visibility for South Asian voices in arts, business, and public life.
As one of the few groups of its kind in the city, our CIC plays a vital role in bringing together all South Asian cultural communities, filling a gap and strengthening the region’s cultural landscape.
Our Mission:
Our recent Marketing Campaign has been a real success, bringing together South Asian communities to connect, share experiences, and support one another. South Asian Voices focused each event on community, women’s health, and wellbeing, creating space for open conversation and genuine connection. These projects have been an important step in amplifying South Asian voices in Bristol and building a stronger, more visible community. Absolutely loved being part of this crucial project.
