Brigstowe
About this service
A Bristol HIV charity combining advice, advocacy, peer mentoring, groups and practical help around health, benefits, housing and stigma. Its Ground Floor Easton office is accessible, but support is relationship-led rather than a casual drop-in attraction. Contact the team to match a need to the right worker, particularly when immigration, asylum, poverty or another long-term condition intersects with HIV.

Service intelligence
Know before you go
Booking lead time
Call or email before visiting so advice, peer support or advocacy can be matched to the right person. Ongoing mentoring and groups may use referral or eligibility conversations.
Best appointment
Seek help when a benefit, housing, treatment or stigma problem starts, not only at crisis point. Name any migration or language need in the first contact.
Client mix
People living with HIV and other long-term conditions, including migrants, asylum seekers and people facing poverty or isolation, plus trained peer mentors.
What to prepare or wear
Bring only documents relevant to the practical issue and ask how they will be stored. For clinical emergencies use NHS urgent care; Brigstowe complements rather than replaces medical treatment.
Provider inclusion
Peer mentoring and specialist HIV advocacy address the lived social effects of diagnosis, with an accessible ground-floor office and explicit anti-stigma mission.
