About Us:

GRASS provides a much loved and valued service for the community.

We need your help so we can continue to offer and even expand our service!

One of the early projects that GRASS was involved with includes

GRASS has built a strong connection with the community through the wide range of events we deliver each year. Our calendar of community events includes Cliftonville in Bloom, Cliftonville Games and the GRASS Children’s Christmas party.

Cliftonville in Bloom is a gardening competition aims to encourage residents in Cliftonville to use their gardening skills to help the environment and improve the appearance of our area. Entry is free with categories for both experienced and novice gardeners, and there are cash prizes for winners.

The annual Cliftonville Games day has a focus on community, diversity and inclusion. GRASS provides many free activities for children, including inflatables, races, and arts & crafts, and the event also includes street food stalls and live music. This year the Cliftonville Games had up to 5,000 people in attendance at the Oval Lawns.

Analysis of our recent Cliftonville Games survey shows that for 34% of attendees at this year’s event, it was their first time attending an event in Cliftonville. Whilst 96% stated that they would attend another community event run by GRASS.

We actively work to bring change at GRASS roots in Cliftonville

Thank you for your support and good luck!

Yours sincerely
