Description
WHO ARE WE?
Welcome! We are the official Bristol Asian Society (ASoc); a fun, vibrant, all-inclusive society that allows individuals of Asian heritage to meet and interact with each other!
ASoc is all about embracing and celebrating Asian culture through unique and unforgettable events such as our award-winning ball Aashiyana, the largest cultural formal at UoB, and BriCardi - a bar crawl with many of our neighbouring universities including Cardiff, Bath, Southampton, and Exeter.
Make sure you don't miss out on the opportunity and join ASoc, make lifelong friends and become part of our amazing ASoc family. We recognise that uni life can be quite stressful, so we endeavour to make our society very chilled and filled with events you can join whenever you're free and able to!
At ASoc, we have something for everyone, ranging from incredible club nights and our extravagant spring ball to more intimate socials such as wholesome meet and greets, chai and chills, and activities around the city! So join ASoc today to embrace our culture and make some memories to last you a lifetime!

EQUALITY STATEMENT
On behalf of the Bristol Asian Society, we are committed to encouraging equality and diversity within our society, whether that be for our committee or our members. We strongly believe that Asian culture should be celebrated by everyone, and it is consequently in our best interest to display its merits to all, regardless of their background. We, therefore, aim to ensure that people of non-Asian descent feel accepted, welcome and respected at our society's events and socials, and in the upcoming academic year we will strive to match, if not better, our number of non-Asian members to increase the diversity within the group.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
On behalf of the Bristol Asian Society, our understanding of sustainability branches further than just recycling- we believe it is about making the world a happy and healthy place for everyone, both now and in the future. Sustainability is, therefore, one of our core values, and we are completely committed to reducing our social, economic and environmental impact both locally and globally. We believe that a collective effort from all societies will accelerate this sustainability improvement, so we will do our best to encourage it when we can. Specifically for our society, we endeavor to make a difference in the upcoming academic year by conserving energy and money in all of our future event plans.
