By Bristol24/7  Tuesday May 12, 2026

The award-winning law firm Barcan+Kirby has reopened applications for its Community Fund, offering £5,000 in grants to charities and not-for-profit organisations working across Bristol and South Gloucestershire.

The Bristol-based law firm said the initiative aims to support grassroots organisations making a positive difference in local communities within the postcodes surrounding its offices, including BS1, BS3, BS7, BS15 and BS35.

Last year’s successful applicants included The Harbour, SENDaWelcome, Horfield Welly Pre-School, Ignite Life and JIGSAW.

Lucy Harttrup, head of marketing and business development at Barcan+Kirby, said: “We’re really proud to reopen our Community Fund and to be able to support the brilliant local charities and not-for-profit organisations that make such a difference in our communities.

“If you’re doing vital work in a BS1, BS3, BS7, BS15 or BS35 postcode, we’d love to hear from you.”

Applications for the funding programme are open until May 29, with successful organisations due to be contacted in June.
