Elevating Communities, Empowering Change.

Grassroot Communities is dedicated to actively engaging, challenging, and inspiring young individuals and other residents in their local neighbourhoods. It’s mission is to empower them to become the driving force behind the positive transformations they envision, ultimately enhancing their quality of life and driving meaningful social and environmental change.

Introducing the Grassroot Activators Programme (GAP).

(GAP) is a transformative year-long initiative, thoughtfully designed to empower 16 to 25-year-olds from marginalised communities across Bristol. This program goes beyond the ordinary, providing participants with two impactful days each week. The primary goal is to elevate aspirations, cultivate role models, and lay the foundation for tangible pathways to future opportunities.

2022/23 Cohort

A very special cohort of young leaders graduated this July after a trailblazing year on the GAP programme. Their stories and achievements are incredible and they have seized the opportunity to do great things that will have a lasting impact.

Well done Ben Carpenter and Judit Davis for their tireless work and inspiration and to all the businesses and community mentors that have supported the programme and opened doors, hearts and minds.
