It is calling for firms to give either financial support or share skills and services.

This includes offering donations as well as supporting youth and play providers with professional support in areas including marketing, legal advice, and accountancy.

Employers and their staff are also being called on to support providers with decorating, repairs and other jobs at sites and youth centres.

The call has been issued by Playful Bristol and the Youth Work Alliance, which involves 45 not for profit organisations. It has pinpointed where £1m worth of gaps in provision exist across the city for firms to help target their support.
