Blooming Whiteway

Blooming Whiteway is about growing plants – especially food, growing biodiversity & growing us as a community!
Based on the Whiteway estate we sit between Bath City Farm and open countryside – a great spot.
We are fascinated by what happens over, under and around the garden fence. We’re curious about how gardens connect with each other through the lifecycle of insects, birds, plants, mircrobes and more.
We work to enhance the biodiversity of the area and are dedicated to growing ecologically.
We’re part of entangled conversations and activities in Bath and beyond which address the Climate and Ecological Emergencies.

Southside Family Project

Southside Family Project has been rooted in the local community since it developed from the Whiteway Health Project some thirty years ago.

Southside supports individuals and families to make positive changes in their lives – through whole family support, domestic abuse crisis support, counselling, volunteering and community hub groups.

Southside is there for you whether you are grappling with problems such as domestic abuse, substance abuse, mental health difficulties; or problems with finance and debt, housing issues or concerns related to education and employment.

They don’t have a magic wand – but based on an assessment of your needs they can provide a wide range of specific services that aim to give you the tools to make positive change in your life and that of your family.

Please contact them directly for advice, information and signposting, or further information about self-referrals for their whole family and domestic abuse support services:
