Supporting everyday people and communities to be the changes they want to see from the grassroots and up.

We’re creating transformational opportunities in everyday communities, building connections, projects and programmes that are based on the wants and needs of young people.

Our Vision

We at Grassroot Communities believe that young people have all the talent, but in many communities limited opportunities. We work with everyday young people 8 – 30 year olds from underserved communities in Bristol to be the changes they want to see. We seek to close the opportunity gap. We want all young people to be able to follow their passions and realise their dreams.

What we do

Detached youth work

Our Detached Youth Work team are out in multiple areas across South Bristol, every week, all year round, come rain or shine, supporting young people with informal education from underserved communities where they choose to hang out, on the streets, car parks, playgrounds and green spaces…

Community projects

Consultation with young people and their wider communities has resulted in a diverse programme of youth and community led projects, based on their identified wants and needs. Over many years the various community projects have been shaped into 3 themes: CREATIVITY, SPORT and NATURE.

GAP

The Grassroot Activators Programmes (GAP) supports young people from 12-30 years old from underserved communities across the city to be the changes they want to see and be. Closing the gap on opportunities for everyday young people to create social change and realise future opportunities in education, employment or enterprise based on their interests and passions
