Bristol Bears Community Foundation is Bristol Bears award-winning charity, delivering programmes that are proven to change the lives of people across the region.

The registered charity works with over 8,000 people from the local community each year and is regularly recognised for its work on a national scale, winning ten Parliamentary Awards since 2008.

Through the power of sport, Bristol Bears Community Foundation aims to inspire every young and older person it works with, helping them to unlock their potential. The charity benefits tremendously from its well-established relationship with the club, its staff and players. The influence community coaches have on the people they work with is supported further by the fantastic engagement from the numerous role models across the players and club staff.

Break The Cycle is the Foundations primary fundraising event providing resource for underfunded or new programmes. With a choice of three routes through the Mendips designed by Olympian Oli Beckingsale, 34, 66 or 100 miles...there is a ride for everyone! All routes start and finish at Ashton Gate Stadium with both Silver and Gold routes taking in the iconic Cheddar Gorge climb.
