Heart of BS13 was founded in 1990 by a group of BS13 residents keen to address specific health problems through increased connection with the local environment.

Over the years, the organisation has widened its brief to include mental health support, targeted nutrition and cooking activity and now a focus on social enterprise.

BS13 hosts a variety of community events and activities throughout the year, including several coming up in December:
