Story
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. 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.
