Social Impact

Ashton Gate Stadium is home to the Bristol Sport Foundation (BSF) and the community programmes of Bristol City, Bristol Bears and the Bristol Flyers, all of which use the power of sport to help local families live more active, healthy and happy lives. While the stadium itself isn’t a charity, it sits at the heart of this charitable ecosystem, supporting sport‑based interventions that are delivered across Greater Bristol in partnership with local schools and community hubs. 

By hosting an event at Ashton Gate, you are aligning with and supporting this work, whether through fundraising, awareness activity, or simply by choosing a venue that reinvests in its community. Many clients value knowing that their event indirectly contributes to programmes that provide safe, inclusive and high‑quality opportunities for children and families across the region.
