Starting September 2023, we are delighted to have teamed up with Babbasa, the award-winning social enterprise based in Bristol. Babbasa is dedicated to empowering young individuals from ethnic minority and low-income backgrounds in pursuing their professional aspirations. Together, we are embarking on a mission to promote diversity and inclusion (EDI) within our local business community.

The BID are funding a limited number of Babbasa Workplace Inclusion Healthchecks with a bespoke development plan and also support with recruiting diverse talent.
