British Polio Fellowship: Bristol Branch

The British Polio Fellowship is a national organisation, see the www.britishpolio.org.uk web site. "The British Polio Fellowship is a charity dedicated to helping, supporting and empowering approximately 120,000 people in the UK living with the late effects of Polio and Post Polio Syndrome (PPS), a neurological condition. It provides information, welfare and support to those living with the effects to enable all to live full independent and integrated lives."

Each of the regions are comprised of branches. The branches and regions organise most of the member activities.

The Bristol (and surrounding areas) Branch has eight monthly social meetings with entertainment (per year), attend regional events, have several outings each year, mainly during the summer, and have a yearly holiday. We use Bistol Community Transport for members without their own transport.
