Be a Councillor

Thought about becoming a councillor, but not sure if it’s for you? You’re not alone.

That’s why we’re running free Be a Councillor sessions to help you understand what the role is really like. Hear from councillors, find out what support is available, and ask questions in a welcoming, inclusive space.

These sessions are for Bristol residents, and we especially welcome people who are currently underrepresented in local politics.

For more information on becoming a Councillor, see the Bristol City Council website.
