River of Hope
2024 date to be confirmed

What is the idea behind the River of Hope celebration?

The River of Hope provides an opportunity for all the grassroots community organisations to come together, link arms and make connections in our common endeavour to help to create the conditions for good health locally.

Our aim is to work together towards creating an environment, a culture and conditions for us to flourish in healthy bodies, whether that is our own body, the body of our community or the biggest body that holds us, our earth: the land, the rivers,
the skies.

Who are we? We are a collective of humans working in local schools, NHS and other public services, charities, community gardens, artists, makers, local residents, allies in local businesses and many more.

We invite you to join us and help the waters to flow in our River of Hope

Dory in Finding Nemo

There are boundaries in nature. There are rivers, forests, escarpments, ravines and mountain ranges… areas of transaction, semi-permeable membranes. The notion that a perimeter should be impenetrable is a human contrivance alone
