🌿 A New Community Initiative in Portishead 🌿

We’re pleased to welcome the Probation Service Community Payback Team, who are beginning their work across Portishead — a new initiative that we’re confident will make a positive difference in our town.

Their first session took place yesterday (Monday 8 June) at the Lake Grounds.

Their efforts will support the upkeep of our public spaces, helping to keep areas clean, tidy, and welcoming for everyone.

Take a look at the before and after photos below, showing the kind of positive impact this work can make in our community.

It’s good to have them involved, and we look forward to seeing the difference their efforts will bring! 🙌

🪵 This Table Needs a New Home! 🏡 🪵

We have a solid wood table with a glass top looking for its next chapter—and we’d love to find it a great new home!

📏 Size: 90cm x 229cm (35 inches x 90 inches)

Ideally, we’d like this lovely piece to go to a community group within Portishead, where it can continue to be well used and appreciated.

🚚 Please note: the table will need to be collected and removed by the person or group interested.

If you’d like to give this table a new home or would like more details, please get in touch with us 😊
