For the Community

Besides the obvious benefits of linking up interested consumers with appropriate businesses to fulfil their needs, Based in Bristol goes further to benefit the local community.  We provide listings for all public amenities, to enable people to easily find local leisure centres, recycling plants etc.  

We also provide free listings to all local charities, enabling them to increase their exposure on the Internet and in some cases, get their details up on the Internet for the first time. 

However, what we are most proud of is our social responsibility programme where we aim to donate up to 10% of our annual revenue to a range of local charities from the cultural, environmental, health, child welfare and animal welfare sectors.  For more details, view our social responsibility page.
