Our Structure

The Bristol Legacy Foundation consists of a Legacy Group made of community leaders from African Heritage Communities and the Partnership Group, which consists of partner organisations:

  • Bristol City Council Culture and Creative Industries Department

There are four Task Groups which lead on various strands of the Foundation’s work: 

  • Memorialisation

    • Remit: Focusing on creating permanent and unchanging site(s) of commemoration

  • Reparatory Justice 

    • Remit: To facilitate a relationship between African Heritage Communities, Bristol City Council and other stakeholders to progress the Atonement and Reparations Motion passed by Full Council on March 2nd, 2023 and commit to working within principles central to reparatory processes when working in solidarity and recognising the agency of African Heritage Communities in defining and implementing our own visions of global community repairs.

  • Partnerships, Investments and Resources  

    • Remit: Will focus on building partnerships, finding investments and resource support for the Bristol Legacy Foundation’s activities.

  • Story-House 

    • Remit: Will focus on delivering a museum or story-house which explores the

      lives, histories and futures of the peoples affected by the TTEA which needs to be

      ever-changing and self-renewing,
