Sodbury in Bloom Launches Fundraiser

CLICK HERE TO DONATE

Sodbury in Bloom is a group of community volunteers working throughout the year to make Chipping Sodbury a lovely place to live, work and visit.

We provide floral displays around town and maintain the Community Garden, orchard and parks. We organise children’s activities, plant wild flowers, litter pick and much more.

We are grateful that we have the support and a lot of appreciation from local businesses and residents, and we have never had to ask for public help with funding on this scale before.

Sodbury in Bloom

The price of plants, bulbs, compost, containers and particularly our watering costs over the summer have risen hugely this year.

Most people are feeling the increase in the cost of living and we know that flowers are not a priority when families are struggling to pay their bills. However, we have no regular funding and largely rely on applying for grants. Whilst we are grateful for any grants we receive, we estimate that we will have a £2000 shortfall this year.

Either we have to reduce what we do in the town, or we need to raise some money. So we are asking for donations from our supporters. If you appreciate our efforts and you are able to make a donation, however small, this is your chance to help us keep the town looking lovely.

Thank you.

About Sodbury in Bloom

The Sodbury in Bloom group are a small band of volunteers who are keen to welcome newcomers.

They meet 10am on the first Thursday of the month in the community garden behind the Town Council Offfices.

They are also looking for people who might be willing to keep an eye on their local patch, cutting weeds back or planting bulbs as appropriate.

If you have green fingers and fancy enhancing your local patch, please get in touch.

The Sodbury in Bloom logo was created by Sophie Press from St John's Mead Primary School as part of a competition.
