The project offers a mix of one-to-one support and a variety of group projects and sessions (both digital and face-to-face). Within these spaces, we aim to create a positive atmosphere with a sense of belonging and security. You'll be able to explore your identity and culture whilst partaking in sociable activities and learning new skills.

The aim of Project Zazi is to promote holistic wellbeing through the growth and development of young People of Colour, creating lasting change that impacts individuals for the better.

1:1 Talking Therapies

Zazi 1:1 is a safe, supportive, non-judgemental, confidential space, to talk with a therapist of colour. We offer support with any issues impacting your mental health and wellbeing. Our primary focus is to give you a space where you feel seen, heard, respected and valued. Where you have the opportunity to freely express, explore, discover, and understand your experiences and any current difficulties you may be having. Our hope is you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself, feel empowered and supported on your journey of recovery and healing.

The Zazi therapy space is Informed by intersectionality (how our different social identities mix/overlap i.e race, gender,class, disability) We follow a " A black empathic approach " (Mavinga 2009) which recognises, values and sensitively responds to the complexities of racial and cultural experiences of young people who identify as Black, African, South Asian, Caribbean or a person of colour.

We are pleased to reopen our sign-ups. Use the Sign-up button at the top of the page.

LI CBT

1-1 Low Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (LI CBT): CBT is a type of talking therapy that identifies and changes patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are getting in the way of a young person feeling good. Zazi qualified and trainee wellbeing practitioners work with young Black people and young people of colour to take racism, belonging and intersecting identities into account when we apply the CBT model to low mood and worries. We offer 6-8 weekly sessions of various LI CBT interventions to give young black people and young people of colour the tools to better manage their mental health.
In 2021, we formally launched our "Hall of Magnificence" as a way of celebrating and honouring some of the young people who make our city such an incredible space to live in.
See the list here.

Masculinity Groups

Our masculinity sessions look at what it means to be a "man" from multiple vantage points. We explore patriarchy, misogyny, mental health, relationships, culture and self expression within our sessions. Our aim is to help unpack the issues associated with masculinity, so that young men can become allies within their social spaces, and also advocate and cultivate authentic, unapologetic, meaningful masculine expression. We are currently delivering masculinity sessions in schools around Bristol. If you are interested in finding out more about our masculinity project, please message us directly at zazi@otrbristol.org.uk.

Black Bristol

Black Bristol is an interactive digital exhibition put together by project Zazi and the Black community of Bristol with the aim of creating a narrative that is owned and controlled by the people. It provides an introduction to Black history in the city and acknowledges and celebrates how it has been shaped by the Black community across time. You can view the Black Bristol website here.

The Zazi Library

The Zazi Library is a digital catalogue of all of Team Zazi's favourite pieces of media! Inside there are books, interviews, poems, comics and graphic novels and also digital pieces such as podcasts, Instagram accounts and YouTube channels etc. It's updated quarterly so do check regularly! Download it from the download section on this page.

Amplify Podcast

The Amplify podcast amplifies the voices of prominent black young people and people of colour in the city of Bristol and is well worth a listen. Listen here.

As Lady Eve Balfour, founder of the Soil Association, believed - the health of soil, plant, animal and man is one and indivisible.

It sustains us, captures carbon, provides a home for billions of organisms and can help defend us against flooding and drought, but too often we're taught to think of it as dirt! As a result, many of the world's soils are now in crisis - degraded and eroding, often as a result of intensive farming practices.

The good news is that, by changing the way we farm and eat, we can help protect our soils, for generations to come.

Our Well-being in Nature sessions provide the opportunity to experience the countless benefits that a greater connection with nature can offer, as well as the chance to meet others and even make new friends within a safe and supportive group environment.

Connecting with nature has been shown to: help to enhance our mental health and emotional well-being; have a soothing effect on our senses; improve concentration levels, memory recall and problem-solving skills; plus release tension held in our muscles and joints. The natural world really does possess the amazing potential to have a positive impact on our bodies and minds and enhance the quality of our lives.

Well-being in Nature at Stanley's Garden

We run weekly sessions at Stanley's Garden, a beautiful community space situated in Worle, North Somerset. This garden has been designed to offer a place in which members of the local community can relax, re-energise and enjoy the outdoors, as well as taking up opportunities to learn new nature-based crafts and gardening skills.
We offer two different types of Well-being in Nature sessions at Stanley's Garden, which both run on a Tuesday and are free of charge:
The morning session welcomes older people living within the community who have received a recent dementia diagnosis or who are living with the early symptoms of dementia. The group also welcomes those who support them e.g. relatives, friends, carers etc.

The afternoon session is designed to support older people living within the community who are experiencing difficulties with their mental health e.g. anxiety, low mood, social isolation.

Stanley's Garden is fully accessible and has the advantage of on-site parking. There is also a shelter for when the elements are against us, and access to toilet facilities nearby. Refreshments are provided in each session (as a cuppa and a biscuit always seems to taste nicer when enjoyed outdoors!).

Well-being in Nature at Care Homes

We can also bring our Well-being in Nature sessions to you and your residents in Care Homes. The perfect way to allow residents to experience the garden in a different way, activities include nature-based crafts, multi-sensory experiences and reminiscing on spent time in the natural world.

To find out more about our Wellbeing in Nature sessions for Care Homes, please visit this page.

The Lawful Basis for using your information
We will only collect and use your information in accordance with one of the following Lawful Bases:

Consent: the law allows us to collect and use your information where you have consented (given your permission for us to do so).

Contract: in some cases we may need to collect and use your information in order to fulfil a contract with you. This basis is more likely to apply to people volunteering or working with us.

Legitimate Interest: the law also allows us to collect and use information if it enables us to offer a better service. This could mean using your information in order to give you support that's tailored to your needs, or analysing it in order to improve our services generally.

Vital Interest: this basis allows us to use your information, without consent if necessary, when we believe that someone is at risk of significant harm or death. See our Confidentiality Policy to find out about the situations in which we would have to use your information without your consent.

Legal Obligation: there are cases in which the law would obliged us to collect or use your information, for instance if that information were required by a court or regulatory body like the Charities Commission - again, potentially without your consent. See our Confidentiality Policy.

Public Task: this basis allows us to collect information to help us carry out tasks in the public interest.

How Long We Keep Your Data

Womankind only ever retains personal information for as long as is necessary and we have strict review and retention policies in place to meet these obligations.

We will normally keep all of the information for 7 years from when our work comes to an end. This is to comply with our legal obligations and our insurer's requirements, and in case we need to review the work we did for you. After that time it will be securely destroyed unless we have a legitimate reason to keep it.

Lodging a Complaint

Womankind only processes your personal information in compliance with this privacy notice and in accordance with the relevant data protection laws.

If, however you wish to raise a complaint regarding the processing of your personal data or are unsatisfied with how we have handled your information, you have the right to complain to the person responsible for Data Protection.

Bristol's community climate action plans

A key element of the Community Climate Action Project is the coproduction of community climate action plans which respond to both social and climate priorities. The plans are developed through community engagement with diverse communities across the city.

Bristol's community climate action plans were developed in neighbourhoods experiencing inequality and disadvantage, along with the communities of Disabled people and refugees in the city. Leading climate action at a community level provides opportunities to improve the lives of local people and ensure the needs of Bristol's diverse communities are better represented as the city responds to the climate and nature crises.
