Welcome to the Friends of Blaise website, our website is currently under construction, which means currently some pages/content is unavalible, but please bare with us and they will be added shortly.
Message from Chairman
For those who don’t already know, we are a volunteer community group who work with Bristol City Council to conserve, improve and promote this wonderful Estate.
As we progress through 2018, we face falling Council Park budgets, making the job of maintaining the fabric of Blaise even harder than it was last year.
This will clearly be our biggest challenge and to meet it we will need to put more emphasis into mobilising volunteer support, deciding on our top priorities and implementing these with the funding we have at our disposal.
We must also ensure that our voices are heard by the Council as they implement their austerity budget plans.
But we cannot do this without the help of the local community and in particular, the Friends of Blaise and your suggestions and support are now needed more than ever.
However the current situation that the Council now finds itself is leading to a closer more cooperative relationship with them for our volunteer work and funding contributions, and this has got to be a good thing for us in the longer term.
