Who we are

Grassroot Communities is a community-based organisation that is creating sustainable change in everyday communities in Bristol through dedicated youth and community work. We are closing the gap on opportunities and supporting young people to realise their passions. We do this by providing them with access to education, training, employment opportunities, mentoring and support.
