Founder & Projects Lead @Grassroot Communities

Bristol, GB

Grassroot Communities is an organisation that tailors and delivers school, youth and community work projects based on the wants and needs of local people. For example, leadership programmes and practical environmental & creative projects that work with people of all ages to transform local spaces, improve community cohesion and reconnect people with nature. Our main focus is to support participants to improve their health, well-being and quality of life. The needs of the individuals, groups and communities we work with are at the heart of all the projects that we develop and facilitate. Subsequently these projects inspire participants, groups and communities on their journeys through life and create an awareness of how we can all achieve a happy, sustainable future where we all have the opportunity to thrive.
