Visit Website Full Description of Organisation What’s it all about? Jamie and I have been friends since school, a while back. A couple of years ago Jamie, who had never been an endurance type guy and didn’t own a bike, decided to do a four day 300 mile long cycle ride for charity. It was a bit emotional! I was super proud of my old mate and having just completed an online donation I jokingly said to him, “I wish there was a box I could tick to buy you a pint afterwards to say well done.” And that got me thinking….. As it turns out there are a lot of Jamie’s out there… millions of them. Giving up a bit of personal time and energy to help others is a wonderful thing and yet we very rarely celebrate these everyday acts of kindness.

Friends Of Bathampton Meadows Riverside Brief Description of Organisation Friends of Bathampton Meadows Riverside was formed to maintain the beautiful riverside space at Bathampton Meadows for its wildlife and visitors. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation Friends of Bathampton Meadows Riverside was formed to maintain the beautiful riverside space at Bathampton Meadows for its wildlife and visitors. In 2014, Bath and North East Somerset Council installed a cycle path along the riverside of Bathampton Meadows. However, no plan or budget was put in place to maintain the space. Realising the potential of the space, a Volunteer Group was formed and started to implement some key maintenance tasks. The ‘Friends’ was born out of this volunteer group. As Peter Fear, a member of the group, explained: “Momentum was picking up and the Volunteers decided to formalise themselves into a Friends group with a bank account and begin fundraising. We had very little experience with fundraising and the opportunity to join Localgiving arose at the time we were considering how to raise funds. Localgiving was a perfect solution”. In the absence of any funding from our Local Authority, the Friends are aiming to raise around £1,000 each year to ensure the beautiful riverside space is maintained for the benefit of the local community and the local wildlife. During 2016, the volunteers contributed over 500 hours. Plans for the future include ongoing maintenance, ecological surveys (open to the public), planting of trees and shrubs, creating areas for wildflowers, creation of a wetland and improvements to the hedgerows.
