Bristol Pakistan Society

Bristol Pakistan Society This society is for all those who have an interest in Pakistani food, music, sports or just the Pakistani culture in general.

PakSoc is a society for all those who have an interest in Pakistani food, music, sports or just the Pakistani culture in general. It’s an all-inclusive society - you don’t have to be Pakistani to join so invite all your friends if they want free Pakistani food (yes we promise there will be lots of dinners so if you’re craving Biryani or Nihari or just some daal chawal, ask and you shall receive!).

Plus if you’re sick of streaming cricket matches on your laptop, we will try and get these played at the Students Union - we were outnumbered by about 30 to 1 at the India/Pakistan World Cup Semi Final at the Union last year so it’ll be good to get more Pakistanis involved. And if you miss being home for Eid (we know we do) and everything that takes place on Eid, then it’s about time we have a society which can organize an Eid function. In addition to this, we’ll also be organizing Indoor Cricket Matches within the University and also with our sister societies in London. We’re also looking into holding events such as talks by Pakistani politicians (if that’s your kinda thing) or concerts in conjunction with the various PakSoc’s in the UK. So let’s just make this as big as we can and in years to come we can say that we were the first men and women of PakSoc Bristol!

*Fireside Chat with Cordoba Ventures*

Come join Bristol Paksoc and other Paksocs around the UK and Cordoba Ventures to discuss the Venture Ecosystem in Pakistan and how you can get involved!

Cordoba Ventures is an investment holding company investing in impactful startups in the Education, Healthcare, Logistics and FinTech sectors. It is focused on the lower and middle-income segments of the Pakistani population.

We will be joined by Malik Ahmed Jalal, who is the Founder and CEO of Cordoba Ventures, ex-CEO of Aman Foundation and ex-Executive Director at Goldman Sachs. After living and working abroad for 19 years, he has returned to Pakistan. With him, we will be discussing with you what is an appropriate vision for Pakistan, the operational reality for startups and how you, as a student, can make the best use of your time at the University to make a lasting impact on Pakistan.

We’re delighted to announce that we have teamed up with Diabetes UK to provide this volunteering opportunity for you all to help out within the Bristol Community! 🙌🏽 Swipe for more details on how to get involved. The role will involve the following (taken from the official Volunteering description):

“Are you passionate about helping people learn about diabetes? Do you have strong links with your local community? Become a Volunteer Community Champion to help improve the health and wellbeing of people in Bristol!
Community Champions raise awareness of diabetes and Diabetes UK. You’ll do this by building links with your local community, and by attending and organizing events. These could be stalls, talks, and presentations. You could join local healthy living days, community centres, health fairs, festivals and faith centres.
You’ll make a difference for people who aren’t getting the support they need. You’ll work with people in your community who have diabetes, or are at risk of diabetes. You’ll help people spot the signs, understand diabetes, and understand what help is available.”

We hope you guys will be interested in joining us to really make a difference within the ethnic minority community in Bristol, please DM us for the WhatsApp groupchat link to get involved! We are proud to announce that this volunteering is supported by your fellow societies: Muslim Medics Dentists and Vets, Asian Society, Afro-Caribbean Society, Bangladeshi Society and Islamic Society. 👏🏽
