Bristol Tree Craft is a community organisation using nature-based craft activities to tackle poor mental health and encourage environmental stewardship. We run free-to-access programmes to empower young people at risk, refugees/asylum-seekers and adults recovering from addiction - in every case using the joys of being creative in nature to help them learn, connect and thrive.
All profits from these concerts directly support our work!
