Established in 2019, we are celebrating our fifth year and have just adopted a new strategy. Over the last few years, we have demonstrated our ability to deliver significant impact for communities. In 2023, we reached thousands of people by working across 40 parks in Bristol and Bath and our impact is set to further increase this year.

By becoming a Trustee, you will help shape our future by sharing your experience and passion to drive our strategy.
