Supporting Young People in Bristol

We support young people in Bristol through 1-1 support, coaching and helping them into volunteering placements in the local community. If you are a young person and care-leaver or not in education, training or employment, or experiencing issues with your confidence, motivation or just don't know where to begin, we can help. We know it can be difficult to find your path, and we believe that everyone has something special to offer. We work with you for as long as it takes to help you find your passion and to help improve your life, to help you feel positive about your future, confidence and job prospects.

Our Bristol Young People's Programme is led by our Volunteer Project Manager Polly, and our Allotment Project is led by our Sessional Worker Mel.

Current Projects

'Get Growing!' Allotment Project

Thanks to funding from Bristol City Council's Bristol Impact Fund, our volunteers have been working on setting up our very own allotment! Since we started the project, our volunteers have transformed the land, from overgrown plants and brambles, to a thriving allotment with a rich variety of fruit, vegetables, flowers and special spaces set up for the wildlife. We've even got a shelter and a fire pit to keep everyone warm in the colder months, where everyone can relax for a cuppa after their hard work!
