Long before the Welfare State existed, a group of generous and philanthropic Bristol businesmen
saw the dreadful hardships suffered by those who, through no fault of their own, had fallen upon hard times. They set about raising funds to help these people and today, the BBI charity administers a large trust fund, with the income being given freely to those in need who live in or around the city of Bristol. The Dean of Bristol researched the early days of the BBI and the times in which it was founded. Do click on his sermon, it makes very interesting reading and shows how the work of the BBI remains relevant and important today.
