Each year, the incoming president of the BPAA selects a charity or organisation that will be supported by our sports and social activities. Over the years, many tens of thousands of pounds have been raised for local, national and international good causes.
In 2026, we are supporting Alzheimer’s Research UK and Youth Bristol.
Alzheimer’s Research UK is the UK’s leading dementia research charity. They work tirelessly to revolutionise the way dementia is diagnosed and treated, and their mission is to accelerate progress towards a cure for this debilitating disease. If a cure is not found, it will mean that one in two of us will be directly affected by dementia, either by developing it ourselves or caring for someone with it (or both). Their vision is a world free from the fear, harm and heartbreak of dementia.
Youth Bristol has been championing young people since 1928 by providing community-based youth services through its community youth club network, based in some of Bristol’s most challenging communities, alongside outdoor activities, holiday clubs, mobile youth services, and outdoor employment and informal educational opportunities. Their work has been and continues to be vital in creating safe, fun and supportive community spaces for young people aged 8-25 during their critical out-of-school hours.
We will be playing our small part by raising a donation through our events, including this year's South West Property Sportive, to support Alzheimer’s Research UK and Youth Bristol to continue their vital work in the hope that one day they will find a cure as well as creating safe, fun and supportive community spaces for young people.
