The Grassroot Communities delivery journey

Since 2017, we have developed a delivery journey based on the wants and needs of young people and their wider communities across Bristol.

This is always evolving through continued consultation, and central to each step on this journey are the relationships developed with young people. Each individual young person’s journey will be different depending on their needs, interests and passions.

For example, we have supported young people through detached youth work, who have been supported through each step of the delivery journey, while others have connected with some steps at different stages of their personal journey.
