Here, in Bristol, like the seed becomes the tree, we grow each year we age.

Who, and what, makes Bristol the kind of city that supports and works for older people? Here We Grow is a limited edition pamphlet and 10-part audio series that delves into this question.

From kindness to volunteering, home-owning and dignity, creative people and community projects from all walks of life introduce you to the issues, older voices and rich stories that encapsulate an ‘Age Friendly Bristol’.

Here We Grow was produced by No Bindings and commissioned by Bristol Ageing Better. The publication was developed over a period of one year. Through regular socials, meetings and workshops, the Here We Grow network was born.
