🌱 *Making connections, creating opportunities and bringing our community together! 💚*

Our Community Connector, Rachel, has been busy building relationships and exploring exciting opportunities across Podsmead.

🤝 Thank you to Gloucestershire Gateway Trust for connecting us with Project Grow at Common Ground. We’re looking forward to seeing you again when you visit Podsmead with Blackbridge Charitable Community Benefit Society! Great things happen when people come together through growing and sharing food.

💚 Rachel also visited the welcoming Link Wellbeing Group at The Ramblers, run by One Church Gloucester, where gentle exercise, crafts, games and an encouraging message bring people together.

🚲 Plus, discussions with GGT are exploring collaboration, resident engagement and the free bike project.

*By connecting people and organisations, Rachel is helping create opportunities for a stronger, healthier and more connected community!* 🌱
