Gorgeous Gorse Hill
Mental wellbeing
We will bring people together to spruce up and improve the multiple planting areas in Gorse Hill that we have created and maintain with community support, including adding art etc.

About this cause
We're a group that aims to improve our local community for all, transforming the mundane into the marvellous. We transform street furniture and neglected public land using art, planting and flowers. We have installed over 50 pieces of public art and maintain five planted areas in our local community. We also started an annual lantern parade in 2020, which has continued post-pandemic.
How this cause brings people in the community together
All of our activities are to improve the local area so that every journey, no matter how short, helps put a small on someone's face. Residents have said that our planting and art makes them feel happy, that they feel pride in where they live and children in particular respond positively to our work.
