The Bristol-Hannover Council (BHC) is the twinning association which helps manage a range of initiatives between the two cities.

The Bristol-Hannover Council (BHC) was founded in 1947 as one of the earliest city links with Germany and helps manage a range of initiatives between the two cities.

The BHC has its own registered charity (No. 279212). It works closely with its partner, the Hannover-Bristol Gesellschaft.
