GROFUN (Growing Real Organic Food in Urban Neighbourhoods) is a grass-roots, community lead inititative where teams of neighbours help one another set up back garden veggie patches and then reap the rewards of a mixed and locally grown ‘veg box’!
It teaches practical skills, address’s the problem of air miles and pollution and builds communites that are closer and more resilient to ever increasing energy shocks and food insecurity! Think about it, there’s only 3 days worth of food stocked in the supermarkets-what do we eat then?
You can find out more about GROFUN on the Bountiful Bristol Bulletin

vinvolved North Somerset exists to help young people aged 16-25 to experience the positive benefits of volunteering.
Our aim is to create a culture where it is natural for young people to volunteer, and natural for organisations to support them in doing so.
We can help you develop new opportunities for young volunteers in your organisation or business, and support you to make volunteering something both you and your volunteers enjoy, benefit from and celebrate.
We are delivering vinvolved in partnership with Changemakers.

Chooseday begins with the challenge that every Tuesday we ‘choose’ to leave our cars at home and experience what a day without cars feels like.
2QAB is working with Chooseday to help support communities and businesses to explore what life is like when we choose to live in a different kind of way. We are currently running a campaign on the Glenside campus at U.W.E. in Bristol.
