Super excited to hear from the St Pauls & St Agnes local community to help create a unique mural with @Upfest for our development of 31 affordable flats, Lower Ashley Rd. Tell us your ideas & inspire this artwork at the gateway to the area! Take part below.👇 @Development_BP
Fancy putting your stamp on St Pauls & St Agnes? We're working with @brighterplaces_ + want you to co-create a piece of art that the community will love. A mega opportunity to bring a vibrant welcome message to the area + we welcome local collaboration: bit.ly/3aMC4OC

Disappointing news about the funding with @clhwest supporting so many groups across Bristol who are ready to go. Great to host you @Rachaelorrsome at our Shaldon Rd scheme with @Eco_motive delivering the self-finish😀 #communityledhousing #socialhousing

Hello. This is a @LandAid request for a structural engineer (@IStructE) to provide around 2 days probono work on a victorian terrace property in #Bristol. The house, once restored, will provide a warm safe home for 3 young adults currently experiencing homelessness.
